OpenFOAM:

  1. mesh generation and conversion: https://www.openfoam.com/documentation/user-guide/mesh.php
  • mergePatchPairs with blockMesh: https://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam-meshing/90357-mergepatchpairs-blockmesh.html "Internal faces between blocks (which won't be receiving boundary conditions) don't get assigned as patches - they are simply ignored, and OpenFoam will recognize them as simply being an interface between two blocks. The exception is when the two blocks use separate vertices to define overlapping faces - say, if you were to copy vertices 4, 5, 6, & 7 to vertices 12, 13, 14, & 15. THEN you would use mergePatchPairs to merge the faces (4 5 6 7) and (15 14 13 12)"
