Viscoelastic Fluid Flows using OpenFOAM The solver viscoelasticFluidFoam

Posted May 12, 2017 at 13:49 by kindle

More about the solver

there is someone asking "does this solver work with K-Epsilon? in other words can I solve a turbulent viscoelastic flow by the means of this solver?"

I was working in the development of a viscoelasticFluidFoam solver (with the great orientation of the Dr. Hrvoje Jasak, thank you very much Hrvoje!!) to simulate viscoelastic flows.

The follow models are implemented: Maxwell, Oldroyd-B, Giesekus, PTT linear and exponential,
FENE-P, FENE-CR and DCPP. There are others models already implemented but not tested (Pom-Pom, SXPP, DXPP, WM ...).

The metodology used to obtain solutions in high We numbers was the DEVSS. The test geometry was mainly the 4:1 planar contraction. The solver are able to simulate multimode cases with n modes.

For the interested: A presentation that will soon be available on line to give more informations.
