As The Environmental Hydraulics Institute IHCantabria is an official contributions to OpenFOAM, IHFOAM has become a part of the official release by OpenCFD (http://www.openfoam.com/). Therefore, once you download and install OpenFOAM in your computer, you will find the boundaries conditions and some tutorials.

You can upgrade OpenFOAM-v1612+, OpenFOAM-v1706, OpenFOAM-v1712, OpenFOAM-v1806, OpenFOAM-v1812 and OpenFOAM-1906 by adding:

  • The solver for two-phase flow within porous media by means of the VARANS equations (Download )
  • The mangrove-fluid interaction (Download ).

IHFOAM was initially developed to simulate numerically all the processes related to coastal engineering. In a constant development, IHFOAM has now become a more friendly and flexible tool by adding all the known capabilities to a graphical user interface. Written in Python, this new capability decreases considerably the learning curve and provides engineers a powerful tool to deal with projects in a visual way.

IHFOAM can be still downloaded for older versions (from version 1.7.1 to v1606+). The source code can be accessed at GitHub and detailed instructions on how to download, compile and run the code can be found in the following wiki site:

openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Contrib/IHFOAM

Apart from the source code we offer some documentation files and tutorials, also for free, when you register using the following form. When you complete the registration an e-mail will be sent automatically to your account with the download instructions. If the e-mail does not arrive, please check your spam folder or contact us.
