transientSimple AM AMAZING PROJECT

Brought to my attention here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam/105601-transient-simplefoam.html

Original source code version from here: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Main_ContribExamples/PISOvsTransientSimple

This repository brings you minor adjustments to this code for keeping up with the latest OpenFOAM releases.

Keep in mind that this is a contribution made in the community and not part of OpenFOAM(R). Furthermore, this is not a solver meant to be used as a final solver, this is only for educational purposes, so use it at your own risk or contribute/sponsor to it to standardize and validate the implementation.

Note regarding versions:

• The master branch works fine with OpenFOAM 1.7.x, 2.0.x, 2.1.x and 2.2.x. It also works with 1.6-ext.

• The branch OF23 works with OpenFOAM 2.3.x and 2.4.x.

• The branch OF30 works with OpenFOAM 3.0.x.

• The branch OF4 works with OpenFOAM 4, 5 and 6.
