The OpenQBMM live distribution provides rapid access to OpenQBMM, without requiring to build the per-requisites of the code, and, eventually, without installing a Linux distribution. It is ideal for learning about OpenQBMM, and for training purposes. Several formats are available, as illustrated in the dedicated page. The images are created with SUSE Studio, and are […]

OpenQBMM 2.0.0 is now available! A list of the major changes follows. A general framework for the solution of evolution equations involving a distribution function was implemented (univariatePDFTransportModel). Turbulent mixing models: a new solver, mixingTransportFoam, is provided to solve turbulent mixing models using velocity fields obtained from RANS flows solvers. The following mixing models are […]

I am pleased to announce the first stable release of OpenQBMM, which includes the following features: Implementation of the Extended Quadrature Method of Moments for lognormal and gamma kernel density functions. Implementation of univariate population balance solver with kernels for aggregation, breakup and growth, diffusion. pbeFoam – Population balance solver for zero-dimensional problems, mostly used […]
OpenQBMM 1.0.0 released!
We are pleased to announce that we now have a discussion board where questions concerning the project can be asked, and feedback can be provided. We also created an IRC channel for more direct interaction. You can find more details on our support page. Our legal page was updated to add links to policies of […]

A verification and validation study of pbeFoam, our zero-dimensional solver for the solution of population balance equations, is now available here. This study focuses on aggregation and breakup problems, and was performed with the objective of verifying and validating the implementation of the EQMOM procedure with log-normal kernel density functions.
