hello
I want to simulate a long channel you may assume closed end at right side but at the left side the wall move from rest at a constant velocity downward so that it opens to a constant stagnation pressure and stagnation temperature-that we know the values of them-environment that are greater than inside the channel.how can I model this gradually openning wall? should I mix groovyBC and mixed boundary conditions?how?or this can be done easier?

Greetings ehsan,

Someone asked me a similar question a few weeks ago and I took a look at this today. An I saw your post due to some strange spammer that was going around posting some weird text...

Anyway, attached is an example "flexibleSideCube.tar.gz", based on an example case from the OpenFOAM bug tracker: http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=566.

The changes I've made were also based on one of examples that swak4Foam has for groovyBC: "Examples/groovyBC/movingConeDistorted/"

You simply need to run:

./Allrun

for it to do its magic. Keep in mind the changes I've made:

1. I've used groovyBC for generating the necessary point displacements, which have to be gradual along X, since we want the left side to be fixed.
2. I've had to add the "cellMotionUz" file, because without it only the top wall would move and the remaining mesh would stay the same.
3. I've modified "dynamicMeshDict", so that it would distribute the cells a bit better. Look at the example in groovyBC for more ideas on the types of mesh diffusion there are!
4. I've used moveDynamicMesh only, so the case is merely an example of dynamic mesh and is not prepared yet for using any other solver... except perhaps interDyMFoam, since I didn't modify several files from that other case from the bug tracker.

So as you should be able to figure out, this example only takes care of the dynamic mesh part, it does not show an example of boundary conditions to be used by a fluid solver.


Best regards,
Bruno

I can't believe I forgot to attach the file... I was probably already very sleepy back then

Anyway, I've attached the missing file to the previous post.

[immortality]

Thank you very much dear Bruno.I didn't find anything and thought may you have send the post by mistake or you mention to that link of debug.
thanks very much again.

[immortality]

a question! what commands I should write if I dont want to use ./Allrun ?
thank you.

[immortality]

I run that.that was really interesting.thank you.
a irrelevant question.how can use the functions of temperature properties of perfect gas in rhoCentralFoam?like Janaf tables?

Hi Bruno,

I try to run flexibleSideCube on OpenFOAM 4.0 and it complains about the non existent groovyBC:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
Unknown patchField type groovyBC for patch type wall

Valid patchField types are :

21
(
calculated
codedFixedValue
cyclic
cyclicACMI
cyclicAMI
cyclicSlip
empty
fixedNormalSlip
fixedValue
nonuniformTransformCyclic
processor
processorCyclic
slip
symmetry
symmetryPlane
timeVaryingMappedFixedValue
timeVaryingUniformFixedValue
uniformFixedValue
value
wedge
zeroGradient
)

Is it supposed to be available in recent OpenFOAM Versions?

Best regards,

Kate

Quick answer: You need to install swak4Foam, in order to get groovyBC: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...tion/swak4Foam

Hello immortality,

I am interested in using a gradually moving wall to simulate water coming out of a valve.

Have you found out the solution to your question ?

Hi my friend
absolutely yes. I did it 3 or 4 years ago and have my code. I did it with groovyBC. what does your model look like? let me know if you needed my code.
