Hi,

I want to write a UDF for recovering averaged particle properties within each cell throughout the domain.
For that I wrote a simple test UDF, mainly copying from Fluent manual, as follows:

#include "udf.h"
#include "dpm.h"

DEFINE_EXECUTE_AT_END(execute_at_end)
{

Domain *d;
Thread *t;
cell_t c;
d = Get_Domain(1); /* mixture domain if multiphase */
int count;
Particle *p;

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

begin_particle_cell_loop(p,c,t){
count += 1;
}end_particle_cell_loop(p,c,t)

}end_c_loop(c,t)
}

printf("Total particles in domain %d \n", count);
}


This gives no error in compilation but on running gives Segmentation Violation and stack backtrace generation. The Segmentation Violation seems due to the presence of the particle loop only. When I remove the particle loop, the error message does not come.

libudf/lnamd64/3ddp/libudf.so(execute_at_end+0x26)[0x7fe7187c43d2]


Could anyone please me help me on this.

My aim is to obtain cell avergaed values of x, y, z particle velocities throughout the domain. Fluent postprocessing does not provide these values, so I guess we have to write a UDF.

Thanks!!

Hi,

did you solve your problem? I also have to count the number of particles, but I wasn't able to do so yet.

Thanks,
Wikie
