Hi,,,This is siva kumar from IIT MADRAS....while am interpret my udf the error is showing like.....
Error:
FLUENT received fatal signal (ACCESS_VIOLATION)
1. Note exact events leading to error.
2. Save case/data under new name.
3. Exit program and restart to continue.
4. Report error to your distributor.
Error Object: ()
this error is coming in my fluent model when i interpret the source code as shown in below....fuel is methane

why the error is coming i don't know please help me??????

Hello Siva,

Notice the space into your variable:
kapa=(absch4*pch4)+(absco*pco)+(absco2*pco2)+(absh 2o*ph2o);

Delete that space and it should be ok:
kapa=(absch4*pch4)+(absco*pco)+(absco2*pco2)+(absh2o*ph2o);

Have a good day.

i willl try that.....thank u very much for ur reply...keep in touch with me,,,,,

[shshiva17]

i have tried but it is not working man,,,,,???

[Micael]

Sorry, I had not tried the UDF, only saw this space and reported it. Now I can see too that there is another problem, more difficult to find.

That is not clear to me, but the problem seems to come from C_YI(c,t,i). Using only a Species Transport model, I can successfully use your UDF. Which model do you use?

Someone reported problem using C_YI(c,t,i) with a pdf combustion model:
http://university.fluent.com/forum/v...814ae1a27f690d

Hope this can helps.

hi,,,,miceal,,,am using species transport model .......how can it be solved...?
see miceal am not using pdf combustion model am using only species transport model......???

[Micael]

Here is what I did:
I enabled Species Transport. I choose "mixture-template" in the Mixture Material drop-down list. In the Materials panel, I added arbitrary fluid materials in that mixture up to 18. Finally, I hooked the UDF in the boundaries panel, adding energy source in the fluid zone. I did few iterations without bug. Do you use it that way?

If you have less then 18 species defined in your mixture there is a bug here in your code:
for(i=0;i<18;i++)
{
sum=sum+C_YI(c,t,i)/MW[i];
}

You can easily see how many species you have:
Define -> Models -> Species -> Transport & Reaction
Just look at the right of "Number of Volumetric Species"

[shshiva17]

u have run that file...
did get running the fluent with out error....but mine is error is coming again,,,???

[Micael]

You have defined 18 species in your mixture?
If yes, then I don't know what is the problem.

[shshiva17]

hi miceal my problem is 2 step methane combustion....total products are 6 how can i give 18 products ,,,,
i think we need to change the udf into 6 species,,,,,,isn't it???

[Micael]

Did your write this UDF yourself? What it does? What is "MW"?

I thought you have 18 species because of this:
for(i=0;i<18;i++)
{
sum=sum+C_YI(c,t,i)/MW[i];
}
i in C_YI(c,t,i) is species index (integer)

What this loop intend to do?

Since you have 6 species, now it is clear to me that the problem is there.

Don't give up.

[sewgolam]

Dear friends,

as I saw the UDF you are calculating absorption for each species that are present in the domain and give it as a source value. how is this source define in fluent

because the heat is only absorped in the cell where these species are present en not else were.

I want to used DPM to inject particle and that calculate the absorpted heat by radiation. how could I used this UDF

please help
