OLAFOAM is a new numerical model from the creator and developer of IHFOAM. This free and open source project is committed to bringing the latest advances in the simulation of wave dynamics to the OpenFOAM and FOAM-extend communities.
OLAFOAM is a set of solvers and boundary conditions to generate and absorb water waves actively at the boundaries and to simulate their interaction with porous coastal structures.
You can find all the information regarding the model at its web site and wiki:

To get a full copy of OLAFOAM source and reference materials run in a terminal:
git clone git://github.com/phicau/OLAFOAM.git
Code updates can be downloaded in the future from the OLAFOAM folder as follows:
git checkout
git pull
Compilation has been simplified, simply run the following script from the OLAFOAM base folder:
./allMake
You can also compile the boundary conditions or the solvers (olaFoam and olaDyMFoam) independently:
cd genAbs
./allMake
cd solvers/olaFoamXXXXX
./allMake
In this case be sure to select the correct folder for your preferred OpenFOAM/FOAM-extend (OF/FE) version.
Reference materials and test cases are included in the OLAFOAM download. Check the reference.zip file and the tutorials folder. For a full description on these materials see:
