Chapter 3 is an introduction to OpenFOAM, as the most popular CFD tool in effluent discharge modelling. A decade ago, OpenFOAM was only an academic tool for studying complex fluid mechanics problems. However, it has grown quickly in recent years and has found its way into industry as well (e.g., many consulting firms have invested in creating their own solvers for the particular problems they often solve). This book covers the fundamentals of OpenFOAM related to effluent discharge modeling: the choice of available solvers and differences between them, mesh generation options and methodology in OpenFOAM and postprocessing the numerical results.

"The book provides a resource for understanding the effluent discharge mechanisms and approaches for modeling them. It bridges the gap between the fundamentals of jets and numerical techniques in hydraulic engineering by integrating the numerical modeling techniques in effluent discharge modeling. The book will benefit both academics and professional engineers working in the area of environmental fluid mechanics and using effluent discharge modeling. With a detailed discussion on performing numerical modeling of effluent discharges in various ambient waters, with different discharge configurations, the book covers the application of OpenFOAM in predictive and regulatory simulations"--
