Hi

It looks as if it cannot find the header files in waves2Foam/src/lnInclude. Maybe the relative path from the utilities should be defined differently in CAELinux? Even though it does not make sense, since waveFoam is compiled.

Well, nonetheless, I believe you should completely delete the version (or rename) you have on your computer and then do a completely fresh checkout as stated on the wiki (http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Contrib/waves2Foam)

Hi,

I have compiled in a different instalation (OF 210) and managed to get waveFoam working, but faild on some pre and post processing due to missing files.
What I need is a clean and complete package for waves2Foam. Where can I download it?
I have tried sourceforge but can not find it.

Thanks once again!
Carlos.

[ngj]

Please read the "Download and Installation" section on the Wiki, which I linked above.

[CFD-Palma]

Thanks Niels, I have found it, downloaded and it went like a charm.
Very sorry for taking your time due to my ignorance.
Best,
Carlos.

[ngj]

You are welcome. I have to agree with you that it confuses the matter that a static (read: "old") and altered version of waves2Foam is floating around.

Well, now it has been documented and can be read by all other potential users.

Kind regards,

Niels

Hi Dear Niels
first i appreciate of your works and your academic personality .
im very begginer in openfoam read the openfoam wiki instruction of waves2foam installation But when i run allwmake in terminal i found these in terminal is it normal?

p.s: when i run wave flume tutorial i run blockmesh and it works when i run parafoam i suddenly get out and disapeared..

beforehand thank you for your helping
Mohammad

[ngj]

Hi Mohammed,

Yes, it looks correct - congrats with the painless compilation

With respect to the crashing of paraFoam, it sounds like a problem, which I have heard about before, however, I have no means of helping with that. I advise you to search the Forum (using Google )

Kind regards,

Niels

[Mohamad(AUT)]

Hi again Dear niels
thanks for your quick answer..and time you spent on my post
i run wave flume tutorials and i run blockMesh and then run setWaveField in terminal and i get this error and i dont know how to debug it..

Dear Mohammed,

Please execute the "Allrun" script as

./Allrun

This script does (as the name suggests ) all what is needed to run the tutorial. It is a simple text file, so you can see, what happens ``inside''.

Kind regards,

Niels

[harrif]

Dear Foamers,

I am curious whether any of you guys have successfully implemented turbulence models with density for waves2foam?

I am simulating regular waves (without current yet) for laminar and eventually turbulent flows in waves2foam. I tried to include density in the standard k - epsilon (in OF 1.7.1), in the form of rho_ and rhoPhi in each term of k and epsilon transport equations, but the resultant wave height gets even more dampen (much quicker) than the normal density-normalised k - epsilon model. This is because of excessive production of k, epsilon and eventually nut which grow over the time. See the attached surface elevation profile for laminar, density-normalised turbulence and turbulence with density models. Perhaps you guys can shed some light about the proper implementation procedure? Thanks!

Niels, I got a question about the new k - omega model in your paper, equation (6) and (7). I realised there is missing rho in beta term, sigma_d term of the omega equation and betaStar term of the k equation. Is this typo or there is no rho for some reason? Thanks!

Cheers,
Harrif

[ngj]

Dear Harrif,

Thanks for pointing out the missing rho's (there are actually more of them in eq. (6) and (7), and I am really embarrassed with that!).

With respect to the turbulence modelling, I found that it is very important to treat the production term correctly. The problem with production terms based on the strain tensor is that production will be non-zero in a potential flow field, which by definition is irrotational! Therefore Mayer and Madsen (2000) suggested to use the curl of the velocity field instead. I have also had successes with this type of formulation in k-omega models.

Kind regards

Dear waves2Foamers,

I'm struggling to get the waveDyMFoam solver to work. I have followed the instructions on the wiki to couple interDymFoam with waves2Foam but when the solver tries to refine the mesh is crashes. Has anyone got the dynamic mesh to work? Any help would be much appreciated.

The terminal gives the following:

/opt/openfoam211/bin/tools/RunFunctions: line 37: 3280 Segmentation fault (core dumped) $APP_RUN $* > log.$APP_NAME 2>&1

The log file give this (after the usual preliminaries)

I'm no expert but I think it must be something to do with the refinement as if the initial number of cells are purposely over the max cell number it runs fine.

Thanks a lot, Ed.

[ngj]

Hi Ed,

Have you tried running the case with interDymFoam, i.e. without the coupling to waves2Foam?

This would be a nice way to verify whether it is an error exclusively related to the mesh refinement or whether waves2Foam also cause problems.

Kind regards,

Niels

[Ed R]

Hi Niels,

I have set up the case by changing the boundary types in 0/alpha.org and 0/U.org from waveAlpha and waveVelocity to fixedValues and used a setFieldsDict to set the fields without using setWaveFields. Then using interDymFoam it crashes at the same point (when trying to make the first refinement) so It must be something to do with my case. I have run the damBreakWithObstacle tutorial and it runs fine and the refinement works. Any hints on setting up a Dynamic mesh case that I may have over looked?

[ngj]

Hi Ed,

No, I have never used the dynamic refinement. But some else might?

Kind regards,

Niels

[Ed R]

Niels,

I've now managed to solve the dynamic mesh issues I was having it was a combination of empty boundary types don't work and a slight alteration to the fvSolution file. The details can be found in these two posts (below). I'd like to thank Adriaan Steenkamp for the help.

I'm now having another issue:

I'm trying to install waves2Foam on a cluster and when performing the SVN to sourceforge from the wiki site I get an error saying that it cannot find the code. Is the wiki up to date, has anyone got any tips to get waves2Foam on a cluster. I'm really out of my depth with HPC stuff, any help would be great.

Thanks,

Ed

[ngj]

Hi Ed,

Congrats on the successful refinement

The SVN is currently down (see: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Main_Page), so I suggest that you merely copy the files you have on your own computer to the cluster.

Kind regards,

Niels

[Ed R]

Hi Niels,

Thanks for the info. I've done as you said and copied my waves2Foam folder from my desktop to the cluster but I'm having some problems making it on the cluster. Is there a specific place the folder needs to be to run the Allwmake command? I tried having waves2Foam in opt/OpenFoam/ as I want the libraries to be available to multiple users but I get lots of 'no rule to make target issues? Any tips on how to resolve this?

Thanks a lot

Ed

Hi Ed,

Did you make a

wclean all

in the waves2Foam directory before compiling? If not it could have carried some settings from your private computer, and it typically confuses the compilation process.

Kind regards,
