OpenFOAM Journal — Volume 2025 Highlights

2026-02-25

Today, we at the OpenFOAM Journal would like to share a short summary of our Volume 2025.

This year we published several interesting articles covering a wide range of topics. Here is the full list of papers and technical notes:

  • beamFoam: A Cell-Centred Finite Volume Solver for Nonlinear Geometrically-Exact Beams in OpenFOAM

  • Particle-Resolved Simulations of Flows Through Sphere, Cylinder or Spherocylinder Assemblies: Automatic Workflow

  • Prediction of Crossflow Transition using gamma Transition Model Coupled with Reynolds Stress Transport Turbulence Model

  • 3D Solver for Viscous Fluids to Simulate Lava Flows

  • Development of an OpenFOAM Solver to Investigate the Dynamic Absorption and Desorption Processes in Metal-hydrides

  • Analysis of Coupling Strategies for Conjugate Heat Transfer Problems

  • An Open-Source Framework for Modeling the Evolution of Fiber Orientation

  • Modelling Thermo-Electrohydrodynamic Convection in Rotating Spherical Shell Using OpenFOAM

  • Testing Strategies for OpenFOAM Projects

You can also access the full volume here.

One thing that matters a lot to us: the OpenFOAM Journal requires and provides the information needed to replicate the results presented in each paper. Alongside each article, readers can access the necessary files to run the cases on their own machines. We believe this is an important part of open, reproducible science.

Thank you to all the authors who contributed. We hope you enjoy reading the papers and exploring the accompanying cases.
