Permafrost modelling with OpenFOAM ® : New advancements of the
permaFoam solver

26 September 2022

In September 2022 a new version of permaFoam, the OpenFOAM solver for permafrost modelling, has been published in Computer Physics Communications as a Computer Programs in Physics contribution by Orgogozo, Xavier, Oulbani and Grenier. In this work, the massivelly parallel computing capabilities are studied on supercomputers of CALMIP and of the TGCC, and example of applications are presented. One could find the latest developments of the permaFoam solver on the community repository.
