ubuntu下OpenFOAM-8编译安装

（1）安装好ubuntu20.04系统，并确保ubuntu可以联网、确保内存最好在13G以上（内存太小在编译过程中可能会显示内存不足，关键词是终端出现kill字样）。
（2）进入Ubuntu桌面。通过Ctrl+Alt+T启动终端，在终端输入

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

键入后会要求输入密码。注意，密码并未显示。回车后，出现一个文本编辑器，将内容全部删除，并将下面的内容粘贴进去，并保存

deb http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ focal main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ focal main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ focal-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ focal-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ focal-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ focal-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ focal-proposed main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ focal-proposed main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ focal-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ focal-backports main restricted universe multiverse

（3）依次复制下面所有内容到终端：

sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential flex bison git-core cmake zlib1g-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-thread-dev libopenmpi-dev openmpi-bin gnuplot libreadline-dev libncurses-dev libxt-dev

cd $HOME &&
mkdir OpenFOAM &&
sudo apt update &&
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential flex bison git-core cmake zlib1g-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-thread-dev libopenmpi-dev openmpi-bin gnuplot libreadline-dev libncurses-dev libxt-dev &&
cd OpenFOAM &&
git clone https://e.coding.net/dyfluid/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-8.git &&
git clone https://e.coding.net/dyfluid/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-8.git &&
source OpenFOAM-8/etc/bashrc &&
cd OpenFOAM-8 &&
./Allwmake -j &&
sed -i '$a source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-8/etc/bashrc' $HOME/.bashrc

这时候会输出大量的信息，中途可能要输入密码，同时并行编译开始（大约需要几十分钟）。编译之后请尝试在终端运行：

blockMesh
如果显示如下信息：

表示安装成功。

2. ParaView（后处理工具）安装

2.1. 编译版paraFoam

cd $HOME/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-8 &&
sudo apt install libqt5x11extras5-dev libxt-dev qt5-default qttools5-dev curl &&
./makeParaView 

其中会自动下载ParaView-5.6.3并开始编译，编译过程较长。编译完成后会显示Installation complete for paraview-5.6.3等信息。

wmRefresh &&
cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PVReaders &&
./Allwclean &&
./Allwmake

将会再次开始编译过程。几分钟即编译完成。然后键入paraFoam即可运行。

3. 多版本共存
   不同大厂的OpenFOAM版本各有特性，因此用户可能具有多版本OpenFOAM共存的需求。多版本OpenFOAM共存非常简单。举例说明：如果用户打算在Ubuntu系统上安装OpenFOAM-8以及OpenFOAM-7，可在终端输入：

gedit $HOME/.bashrc

会打开一个文件，在文件的最底部重新取一行添加下述两行文字：

alias of8="source ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-8/etc/bashrc"
alias of7="source ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-7/etc/bashrc"

保存并关闭。重新打开新的终端的时候，环境变量自动生效。这时如果用户键入：
of8

则调用OpenFOAM-8环境，类似的，键入：

of7

则调用OpenFOAM-7环境。
