olaFlow CFD Suite is a free and open source project committed to bringing the latest advances for the simulation of wave dynamics to the OpenFOAM® and FOAM-extend communities.

The suite includes the olaFlow VARANS solvers, reference materials and tutorials with pre- and post-processing tools.

Cutting-edge technologies

State-of-the-art wave generation and active wave absorption working at the boundaries (i.e. without increasing the computational cost)
Simultaneous wave and current generation
Replication of multi-paddle piston and flap-type wave generators, also including active wave absorption
Two-phase flow through porous media (VARANS equations) to model breakwaters
