nanoFluid4Foam is a toolbox designed for OpenFOAM to produce nanofluids.

Where do I start?

Start with the nanoFluid4Foam userGuide, located in the documentation directory.

How do I get set up?

To get setup, you must first install OpenFOAM, using following version:

• foam-extend-4.1

Once a version of OpenFOAM has been installed, download nanoFluid4Foam and then run the enclosed Allwmake script to compile nanoFluid4Foam.

How can I cite the current toolbox and find more information?

You can see the governing equations and boundary conditions for each case in tutorial and more case in following resources:
