02 Lectures OpenFOAM Solver Modification

The lecture discusses developing custom solvers in OpenFOAM. It covers the structure of solvers, compiling with wmake, examining the icoFoam solver, adding energy equation variables and equations to the code, and modifying test cases to solve the additional equation. The document provides guidance on building solvers in OpenFOAM from selecting prototype solvers to modifying test cases for new equations.
