DEFINE_ADJUST not working properly

as i understand define_adjust can be "used to adjust or modify FLUENT
variables that are not passed as arguments". in my 3phase eularian simulation i am required to modify the volume fractions of the two secondary phases, keeping the volume of primary phase same. i have done the calculation as required in define_execute_at_end, to compute how much do the volume fractions change and hence correctly computed the value of global variables 'vf1' and 'vfpr'. my adjust macro: Code:
DEFINE_ADJUST(mt,d) { Thread *t; cell_t c; real volf1, volf2, volf3; real xc[ND_ND]; if (counter == 1) { thread_loop_c(t,d) { begin_c_loop(c,t) { Thread *fr = THREAD_SUB_THREAD(t,1); //1st secondary phase Thread *to = THREAD_SUB_THREAD(t,2); //2nd secondary phase volf1 = C_VOF(c,fr); volf2 = C_VOF(c,to); volf3 = 1-(volf1+volf2); //primary phase volume frac. if(volf1 > 0.01) { C_VOF(c,fr) = volf1 * vf1/vfpr; //modifying the vol.fr. of 1st sec. phase volf1 = C_VOF(c,fr); C_VOF(c,to) = 1-(volf1+volf3); //adjusting the vol. fr. of 2nd sec. phase, keeping the sum of volume fractions unity. volf1 = C_VOF(c,fr); volf2 = C_VOF(c,to); C_CENTROID(xc,c,t); Message("%g\t%g",xc[0],xc[1]); Message("\t%g %g\n",volf1,volf2); } } end_c_loop(c,t) } } } When the variables are printed from the udf, they do seem to get modified as required by the problem. But returning to solver at the end of iteration/timestep, the variables show no change when viewed as contours or even when accessed by define_execute_at_end macro. What might be the problem in modifying the variables ?? Is there anything wrong in what i am trying to do? Please suggest an alternative. Can anyone please help me.. Regards. |
