Hi Foamers,

I am trying to simulate an effect of fan, and I am using ''accelerationSource'' fvModel. I am using OpenFoam10

The fvModel works fine if I include 'halfCosineRamp' but I cannot see any changes to velocity field when I change it to ''constant''.

I am assuming the fan would exert a constant accelaration to the fluid. Would you take a look into the file ?

PHP Code:

accelerationSource1
{
    type            accelerationSource;

    selectionMode   cellZone;
    cellZone        rotor;

    U               U;

    velocity        scale;            //constant; //uniform;
    value           (0 0 10);

 
    scale
    {
        type         constant;     //one;  //halfCosineRamp;  //constant; 
                                      //halfCosineRamp; uniform constant
        value        1;
        
        //start           0;
        //duration        100;
    }
} 


Also, is this the 'right' fvModel to simulated the 'effect of the fan' ?

Thank you
