corrupted double-linked list

Posted February 21, 2017 at 13:04 by kindle

I copied a derived boundary condition from src/finiteVolume/fields/fvPatchFields/derived/turbulentInlet modified and recompiled it in user directory. It compiles and I name the new library libturbulentInletUser.
When using it in a simluation. Running the solver seems all right but I get "corrupted double-linked list" when I call "blockMesh" or "decomposePar".

In the source code, all classes in finiteVolume is compiled as a single library which contains...

LES: Turbulent Channel Flow without initial solution (BC)

In this post, the kinetic energy is monitered and the turbulentInlet condition is explained. We cannot use Reynolds averaged profile as inlet, because it is only seen by time average.

While monitering kinetic energy of all flow (not just the turbulent part), when this value tends to some stable state the mean and the turbulent part is then established.

Inlet velocity profile using swak4Foam

Posted February 16, 2017 at 05:29 by kindle

The problem of this is that groovy can impose an inlet profile but cannot take data downstream (this is the main difficulty) and then rescale to the entry. Adding fluctuation is straight forward.

Please note

Wall Function

Best regards

When the turbulence models are turned on, then FLOW3D applies the logarithmic wall function in the cells intersecting a surface. It assumes the center of the cells is with the turbulent region of the logarithmic velocity profile, which is approx: 30<y+<1000.

Lots of explanation in the user manual.

DEFINE_ADJUST(adjust, domain)
