Hi, Can anyone suggest some resources for understanding interfoam solver in OpenFOAM? I am using Gauss PLIC interface compression scheme, Is it truly geometric reconstruction? Please share some resources and inputs for understanding this. Thanks,

If you’re like me, managing hardware upgrades and resource limitations has probably been a constant battle while running high-resolution simulations. That’s where Cloud HPC comes in. It’s designed to handle all the heavy lifting for you—so you can focus on the physics instead of the hardware. 🎁 Here’s what you'll immediately get: - 300 vCPU-Hours for Free to test your cases. - Seamless OpenFOAM integration (and other software too). - Blazing speeds—no joke, my simulations saw up to a 10x speedup! - The new HyperCore Nodes (just launched!) that make even complex cases run like a breeze. 💻 How to Get Started: 1. Register: Create a free account on the platform and claim your free vCPU-Hours. 2. Install CloudHPCexec: Easy download and setup. 3. Upload Your Case: Drag and drop—it’s as simple as that. 4. Run Your Simulation: Watch it fly through the queue and get notified when it’s done. 5. Download Results: Pull the results back to your machine and dive into your analysis. I’ve been using Cloud HPC for a while now, and honestly, it’s hard to imagine going back. Whether you’re running quick studies or tackling complex setups, it’s a total game-changer. If you haven’t registered yet, go give it a shot, and let me know what you think! 👉 Register here and start simulating! Let me know in the comments how your experience goes—looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Previously where I worked in R&D, we used to deal with quite large elements and we ran those cases on workstations sometimes with 48 cores...etc I'm looking to buy a new personal laptop and I'm not sure what specs should I care for for my CFD learning, whether on OpenFOAM or other commercial software. Should I care for the graphics card as much as RAM, Storage and Processor? What about number of cores/threads...Any source I can read on that or experience?

I use ubuntu for preprocessing and openfoam and with canonical’s latest update it has: Destroyed my resolution settings Wrecked CUDA Made blender useless. If you want a suitable linux distribution do not waste your time, use arch linux.
