[blockMesh] meshing a cylinder

Nico A. · April 7, 2011, 12:17

Hello at all,

my problem is the following: i want to simulate the flow around a cylinder. therefore i used the blockMeshDict of an openfoam tutorial ( /basic/potentialFoam/cylinder). i tried to create a full cylinder out of the existing mesh. this is what i tried for my blockMeshDict:

Code:

// ************************************************************************* //

when creating the block mesh topology, i get multiple warnings like:

Code:

zero or negative pyramid volume: -0.0441942 for face 3

and

Code:

From function blockMesh::createTopology(IOdictionary&)
    in file createTopology.C at line 397
    negative volume block : 10, probably defined inside-out

I dont know what it means and how to solve that problem.

with kind regards!

Hi Nico,

there are some problems with the numbers order in block 12 up to 19.

Here is the correction:

Hi Martin,

thanks for your quick reply. Everything works now ( of course :-) )
I am just getting used to OpenFoam.

Olá, estou tentando fazer uma barra redonda de 20 mm de diâmetro por 900 mm de comprimento no blockMesh. Até então gerou a geometria mas a malha está com problemas. Segue código abaixo.

Olá, muito Obrigado!

Descompactei o arquivo no diretório system e rodei o blockMesh e beleza, funcionou bem o 1/4 do cilindro.

Só quando estou fazendo a sequência para espelhar está dando erro.
Estou usando a sequência que está no arquivo blockMeshDict.

Certamente. Cometín un erro ao copia-los comandos no post este mediodía, mais xa o editei.

Note for other visitors: Cássio mentioned some problems regarding the generation of a cylindical rod (length=900mm and diam.=20mm) with blockMesh. The suggested solution can be found in following link:
