I tried to define liquid water with the correspondent NASA polymonials
LIBRARY: &replace MATERIAL: NASA AGUA L Material Description = Water Vapour Material Group = Gas Phase Combustion,Interphase Mass Transfer,Water Data Object Origin = User Option = Pure Substance Thermodynamic State = Liquid PROPERTIES: Option = General Material ABSORPTION COEFFICIENT: Absorption Coefficient = 1.0 [m^-1] Option = Value END DYNAMIC VISCOSITY: Dynamic Viscosity = 0.0005 [kg m^-1 s^-1] Option = Value END EQUATION OF STATE: Density = 998 [kg m^-3] Molar Mass = 18.02 [kg kmol^-1] Option = Value END REFERENCE STATE: Option = NASA Format Reference Pressure = 1 [atm] Reference Temperature = 25 [C] END REFRACTIVE INDEX: Option = Value Refractive Index = 1.0 [m m^-1] END SCATTERING COEFFICIENT: Option = Value Scattering Coefficient = 0.0 [m^-1] END SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY: Option = NASA Format LOWER INTERVAL COEFFICIENTS: NASA a1 = 7.25575e01 NASA a2 = -0.662445 [K^-1] NASA a3 = 0.00256198746 [K^-2] NASA a4 = -4.36591923e-06 [K^-3] NASA a5 = 2.78178981e-09 [K^-4] NASA a6 = -41886.5499 [K] NASA a7 = -288.280137 END TEMPERATURE LIMITS: Lower Temperature = 273.150 [K] Midpoint Temperature = 1000 [K] Upper Temperature = 600.000 [K] END UPPER INTERVAL COEFFICIENTS: NASA a1 = 0 NASA a2 = 0 [K^-1] NASA a3 = 0 [K^-2] NASA a4 = 0 [K^-3] NASA a5 = 0 [K^-4] NASA a6 = 0 [K] NASA a7 = 0 END END THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY: Option = Value Thermal Conductivity = 0.64 [W m^-1 K^-1] END END END END and the software solver crashes with the following message: Error in subroutine CALVAR_PROP : Error calculating Thermal Expansivity GETVAR originally called by subroutine CAL_GVar Does anyone knows why? |

You could have entered the coefficients wrongly, you could be using the model in a temperature or pressure it is not accurate for, your model could be diverging. It is going to be one of those reasons. You need to do debugging to find which.

Careful with your material definition.
You have provided a constant density material, and the software is requesting the thermal expansivity, i.e. derivative of density respect to temperature and constant pressure times something else. Are you using a buoyancy model of some sort? Bousinessq model relies on the thermal expansivity, therefore my guess. |
