Gamma Theta Model Error

dl467 · November 24, 2015, 16:06

Hi, I am attempting to capture the transition around a Low Pressure Turbine using the SST Gamma Theta Model. SST on its own works fine, but once I add in the Gamma Theta Model I get an error:
Error detected by routine PSHDIR
CDRNAM=/FLOW/PHYSICS/ZN1/FL1/TURBM/TRANSITION/RETRNONS/TFC/SIGMA
CRESLT = NONE
Could you please help me understand what might have gone wrong?

There is probably a necessary parameter you have not defined. Maybe you have not defined the Gamma-theta conditions at a boundary condition? Or an initial condition?

My understanding is after reading the CFX-Modelling Guide, that I don't need to define anything extra at the boundary or an initial condition.

You appear to be correct.

Regardless, the cryptic error message appears to be suggesting a necessary parameter for the SST or gamma-theta model is not defined somewhere.

Which version of CFX are you using?

How did you include the transition model - by editing the CCL or by setting it up in CFX-Pre?
