hi

would you please explain me how do you separate the porous region in opoenFoam?


thanks

My results are a good p, but strange oscillating U.
On the next sctrutured mesh:


I get this solution:


Velocity field is:



One can see what velocity is good but slightly oscillated on porous boundary. So, question is:

Are such oscillations caused by a stepwise porous source? If yes, how can I specify smooth porous source?



But more bad situation have place on non-structured mesh.
Mesh is


Solution is:




One can see very oscillating velocity in the porous region.
So, why this happens? Non-orthogonal correction not helped.

Thanks.

Greetings Hesam and welcome to the forum!

I've moved your post to a new thread, because the other thread was already a bit old.

As for your question, please study the following two tutorials:

• OpenFOAM's tutorial "incompressible/porousSimpleFoam/angledDuctImplicit". It uses the cell zone definitions directly in "blockMeshDict".
• This one is an adaptation of the previous tutorial, but using snappyHexMesh: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post408279
