This article is a memorandum of the procedure when installing version v2006 of OpenFOAM, which is open source software for fluid analysis, on CentOS 6.x.
The OpenFOAM binary package and source code can be obtained from the following site.
The first site is by the ESI group. On the other hand, the second site is from the OpenFOAM Foundation. The version with the release date, that is, v2006 (released in June 2020), can be obtained from the former ESI site.
You can download Windows, Mac, and Linux binaries from the ESI site. On Windows, you can also install using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). It has been officially confirmed that it can be installed on Ubuntu 16.04LTS, CentOS 7.4, and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on how to build from source. This article attempts to build OpenFOAM from source on CentOS 6.x.
$ Home, but this time, assuming installation on a calculation server used by other users, install it under / opt.The ParaView build in step 7 often fails, and if it doesn't work, give up. ParaView can be installed separately on other than the CentOS server, so you can download the calculation data to your environment and visualize it.
The required packages are as follows.
Install the above packages using yum with administrator privileges.
$ yum install gcc gcc-c++ bison flex m4 glibc-devel glibc-devel.i686 zlib-devel
The OpenFOAM package consists of two types: the main source code and a third-party package. Here, create a directory called / opt / OpenFOAM so that different versions can be managed, and download and extract it with wget under it.
$ mkdir /opt/OpenFOAM
$ cd /opt/OpenFOAM
$ wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/openfoam/files/v2006/OpenFOAM-v2006.tgz
$ tar zxvf OpenFOAM-v2006.tgz
$ wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/openfoam/files/v2006/ThirdParty-v2006.tgz
$ tar zxvf ThirdParty-v2006.tgz
If you cannot download HTTPS due to authentication, add the option --no-check-certificate or .wgetrc settings. Please avoid it.
The structure of the directory and file after extracting each package is as follows.

How to build OpenFOAM is described in OpenFOAM® Quick Build Guide, but expanded ʻOpenFOAM-v2006 Carefully read README.md, Bequirements.md, and BUILD.md inandThirdParty-v2006, and check SOURCES.txt`.
Requirements specified on the official website are as follows.
The version of Qt that is originally included in CentOS is old, and you need a new version of Qt to use the latest version of ParaView.
The compiler libraries required under the above ThirdPart-v2006 are as follows:
(There is a description of the download destination in BUILD.md).
The compiler can be an intel compiler other than GCC. It's okay if the GCC version is newer than 4.8.5, but you'll need to change the settings that come up later.

First, load the OpenFOAM environment settings.
$ . /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v2006/etc/bashrc
At this time, the following message is output, but since GCC has not been built yet, it is a natural error and the GCC build will proceed.
===============================================================================
Warning in /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v2006/etc/config.sh/settings:
Cannot find 'Gcc' compiler installation
/opt/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-v2006/platforms/linux64/gcc-4.8.5
Either install this compiler version, or use the system compiler by setting
WM_COMPILER_TYPE to 'system' in $WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/bashrc.
===============================================================================
$ ./makeGcc
Reload the OpenFOAM environment settings to enable the built Gcc.
$ . /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v2006/etc/bashrc
Build Cmake. You need to specify the version as an option.
./makeCmake cmake-3.8.2
After building Cmake, build the rest of the packages with ʻAllwmake`. Load the OpenFOAM environment settings again before executing.
$ . /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v2006/etc/bashrc
$ ./Allwmake
I get the following error when building ADIOS2.
no patch found for ADIOS2-2.4.0
Using cmake=/usr/bin/cmake
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:6 (cmake_minimum_required):
CMake 3.6 or higher is required. You are running version 2.6.4
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
Error building: ADIOS2-2.4.0
---------------------------------------------------
Optional component (ADIOS2) had build issues
OpenFOAM will nonetheless remain largely functional
---------------------------------------------------
It seems that you are not using CMake built under a third party, so set PATH explicitly and rebuild ADIOS2.
$ ./makeAdios2 -cmake $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/platforms/linux64Gcc/cmake-3.8.2/bin/
After the above third-party build is completed, check whether the conditions for building the OpenFOAM main body are met with the following command.
$ foamSystemCheck
System check: PASS
==================
Can continue OpenFOAM installation.
When PASS is displayed, move on to the build of OpenFOAM itself.
Load the OpenFOAM environment settings again and then build. ʻThe Allwmakescript is used, but the number of cpu for parallel compilation can be specified with the-joption, so set it according to the environment. You can also use the alias commandfoam to move to the OpenFOAM project directory (installation directory) $ WM_PROJECT_DIR`.
$ . /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v2006/etc/bashrc
$ foam
$ ./Allwmake –j4
If an error occurs and it does not end normally, check the error message to see if there are any missing libraries.
When the build of OpenFOAM itself is completed normally, read the environment settings again and execute the test program.
$ . /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v2006j/etc/bashrc
$ foamInstallationTest
It is OK if the confirmation result such as the library path is output and the following summary is output at the end.
Summary
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Base configuration ok.
Critical systems ok.
Done
If Japanese is included in the version output of gcc -v, the above foamInstallationTest will result in an error, so before that
export LANG=C
Please do not use Japanese as such.
Check how to specify the version package in makeQt.
$ more makeQt
** Confirmation point **
# Description

In previous versions of OpenFOAM, the user could specify it in makeQt, but the setting cannot be changed here. For the time being, I will give you help for makeQt.
$ ./makeQt -h
usage: makeQt [OPTION] [qt-VERSION] [-- configure-options]
options:
-gcc Force gcc/g++ instead of the values from $WM_CC, $WM_CXX
-help
* build qt-everywhere-opensource-src, version undefined
It seems that you can specify the version and execute it, so let's compile 5.9.3.
$ ./makeQt 5.6.3
It takes a little time to compile, and it fails with the following error.
/opt/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-v2006/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.6.3/qtconnectivity/src/tools/sdpscanner/main.cpp:321:30: error: ‘htonl’ was not declared in this scope
If you search for the error message on Google, there is a workaround in stack overflow, so in the source as follows Make corrections.
$ vi qt-everwhere-opensource-src-5.6.3/qtconnectivity/src/tools/sdpscanner/main.cpp
** Additional part **
#include <arpa/inet.h>
If you compile it again and no error occurs, it is successful.
$ ./makeQt 5.6.3
Next, build ParaView.
Since the path of qmake (Qt) and Cmake is not set, specify it in the script option.
Also, execute it with the option of not using the functions of OpenGL library 2.x or higher (-no-gl2) (because the CentOS 6 driver does not support it).
$ ./makeParaView -no-gl2 -qmake platforms/linux64Gcc/qt-5.6.3/bin -cmake platforms/linux64Gcc/cmake-3.8.2/bin
The module paraview is created and the build is complete.
$ ls platforms/linux64Gcc/ParaView-5.6.0/bin/paraview
platforms/linux64Gcc/ParaView-5.6.0/bin/paraview
This completes the ParaView installation. In previous versions, it was necessary to build ParaView Reader to use the paraFoam command after this, but it seems that it is not necessary because the corresponding PVReader is not found.
After all the above installation work is completed, the tutorial case pitzDaily will check whether OpenFOAM can normally perform the flow of fluid analysis, pre-processing (mesh creation), calculation execution, and post-processing (visualization). Check using.
$ . /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v2006/etc/bashrc
$ mkdir –p $FOAM_RUN
$ run
$ cp -r $FOAM_TUTORIALS/incompressible/simpleFoam/pitzDaily ./
$ cd pitzDaily
$ blockMesh
$ simpleFoam
$ paraFoam
The meanings of the OpenFOAM commands that appear here are as follows.
run: Move to the user's calculation execution directory $ FOAM_RUN.blockMesh: Generate a basic mesh.simpleFoam: Execution of the steady-state analysis solversimpleFoam for incompressible fluid calculation.paraFoam: Converts the OpenFOAM calculation output to a format that can be read by ParaView, and starts ParaView to visualize it.The operation check performed here does not confirm the parallel calculation. It is not easy to check the operation of all tutorial cases that perform parallel calculation because it takes a long time to calculate, but let's execute pipeCyclic as a relatively light calculation (the number of parallels is 5 by default).
$ run
$ cp -r $FOAM_TUTORIALS/incompressible/simpleFoam/pipeCyclic ./
$ cd pipeCyclic
$ ./Allrun
ʻAllrunis a script that automatically sets analysis conditions and executes calculations from mesh generation. IfpitzDaily and pipeCyclic` can execute the calculation without error, the installation is completed successfully.
