====== Davyd Perdomo's Research Logs and Meeting Notes ======


===== Research Log =====
==== May 26, 2024 ====
=== Items Finished ===  
  * Complete on my on-board tasks.
  * Downloaded OpenFoam on Aircraft
=== Working On ===
  *Running an example on OpenFoam
  *Learning commands for Linux

==== July 6, 2024 ====
=== Items Finished ===  
  * Ran OpenFOAM Docker image on Littlestorm. Following this procedure:
1)Edit your ~/.bashrc file and add the line: export XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority

2)Start with "Step 5: Launching openfoam11-linux" at the following link [[https://openfoam.org/download/11-linux/]]  However, when you get to the last line that launches "openfoam11-linux" ,  you instead need to launch it like this: openfoam11-linux -p 510 -xhost  <--This will ensure that graphical programs get passed through and show up correctly when xforwarding.   You may not need the extra flags if you are using a VNC session.

3)Once in the container, return to [[https://openfoam.org/download/11-linux/]], and go to Step 6: Testing openfoam11-linux. This should ensure that everything is set correctly and afterward you should be ready to work with the program.
