accessing C_VOF from EXECUTE_AT_END

RD03 · February 11, 2019, 13:49

Hi,
I am trying to access C_VOF from EXECUTE_AT_END macro. I'm getting a fatal error when I run the solver. It is compiling fine. Can anybody help me? and I'm also confused with the zone id and domain id.

here the udf:
DEFINE_EXECUTE_AT_END(alpha)
{
Domain *d;
Thread *t;
Thread **pt;
cell_t c;
int zone_ID=1;
Thread *mixture_thread = Lookup_Thread(d,zone_ID);
pt = THREAD_SUB_THREADS(mixture_thread);

d = Get_Domain(1);

thread_loop_c(t,d)
{
begin_c_loop(c,t)
{

C_UDMI(c,t,0)= C_VOF(c,pt[1]);

C_UDMI(c,t,1)= C_LIQF(c,pt[1]);
}
end_c_loop(c,t)
}
}

which model do you use for this simulation?
Multiphase?
Solidification?
You should explain in details if you wanna get help

Do you know, that:
C_LIQF is available only in fluid cells and only if solidification is turned ON

best regards

Hi AlexanderZ,
I am trying to model melting of phase change material I have separate domain from geometry for air and pcm. I'm using VOF and melting/solidification model in fluent. I want to access the C_VOF and C_LIQF for both the domain( air and pcm).

what kind of error did you get?

did you defined 2 UDMs in FLuent GUI?

best regards

Dear ALexandarZ,
I have specified UDMI in GUI.

I'm getting a segmentation fault when fluent iteration starts.

i dont have much experience in multiphase simulations

may be

Code:

int zone_ID=1;

is a problem. Are you sure, that ID=1 is your fluid zone?
To check this value in fluent GUI go to Cell Zone Conditions, select fluid zone, you will get ID value there.

put it in UDF

best regards

Dear AlexanderZ,
Thanks for your response. I have checked with the zone ID and it worked. Thank you.
