OpenFOAM® Journal

About the Journal

The OpenFOAM^® Journal aims at publishing works related to the OpenFOAM® computational library, with focus on the benefit for the OpenFOAM® community, is free to publish and open-access. Each publication has an associated discussion forum, to increase the interaction between the readers and the authors, and the overall impact of the contributions.

The journal has a strong focus on reproducibility. Authors are required to present their results in a reproducible form, preferably by sharing codes and case setups used to generate their results, or alternatively by describing numerical settings, solver modifications, etc., in a sufficient level of detail.
