“…In recent years, OpenFOAM has been adopted to study a large variety of computational approaches for different CFD applications, including plasma cutting [22], fire plumes [27], and metal forming processes [32]. Thanks to parallel computing support, multiphase modeling capabilities, a wide range of existing turbulence models and ease of implementation for new ones, OpenFOAM represents a great tool for the development and assessment of computational strategies for atmospheric modeling.…”

Within OpenFOAM, we develop a pressure-based solver for the Euler equations written in conservative form using density, momentum, and total energy as variables. Under simplifying assumptions, these equations are used to describe non-hydrostatic atmospheric flow. For the stabilization of the Euler equations and to capture sub-grid processes, we consider two Large Eddy Simulation models: the classical Smagorinsky model and the one equation eddy-viscosity model. To achieve high computational efficiency, our solver uses a splitting scheme that decouples the computation of each variable. The numerical results obtained with our solver are validated against numerical data available in the literature for two classical benchmarks: the rising thermal bubble and the density current. Through qualitative and quantitative comparisons, we show that our approach is accurate. This work is meant to lay the foundation for a new open source package specifically created for quick assessment of new computational approaches for the simulation of atmospheric flows at the mesoscale level.
