Community created Errata for the OpenFOAM Programmer's Guide.

Notes to contributors: Please include the chapter number of the printed version to avoid confusion (the Wiki might give different chapter numbers)

1 Chapter 1: Tensor mathematics

1.1 Section 1.4: OpenFOAM tensor classes

1.1.1 Subsection 1.4.1: Algebraic tensor operations in OpenFOAM

Valid versions: OF version 16.png OF version 17.png OF Version 20.png OF Version 21.png OF Version 22.png

In Table 1.2: Algebraic tensor operations in OpenFOAM, the following entries need fixing:

Operation Description in OpenFOAM
(wrong)
Description in OpenFOAM
(correct)
Component maximum max(a) cmptMax(a)
Component minimum min(a) cmptMin(a)
Scale scale(a,b) cmptMultiply(a,b)


2 Chapter 2: Discretisation procedures

2.1 Section 2.4: Equation discretisation

2.1.1 Subsection 2.4.6: Gradient

Valid versions: OF version 16.png OF version 17.png OF Version 20.png OF Version 21.png OF Version 22.png

  • All references to timeScheme should be either gradSchemes or snGradSchemes [1].
  • The indication of [Check**] implies that this subsection needs to be revised.


2.1.2 Subsection 2.6.1: Physical boundary conditions

Valid versions: OF version 16.png OF version 17.png OF Version 20.png OF Version 21.png OF Version 22.png

  • The indication of [Check**] implies that this subsection needs to be revised.


3 Chapter 3: Examples of the use of OpenFOAM

4 Chapter 4: Programming techniques
