Kilroy, in case you were not able to get the floatingObject with waves simulation to complete yet; I had it going successfully for the full 15 seconds a while back, so I've added a link to the compressed foam files. You can download them and compare with what you're using.
Right off the bat, i noticed that your dynamicMeshDict is different by one line -- i don't have the line included in your file.
Hope this helps...
mahalo,
chris

My original "dynamicMeshDict" file looks like below:



Do you think playing with the value of "dynamicFvMesh" will work?

Can you please give me some suggestions?

Thank you very much for your help and time.

Hi Niels, your solution worked well. Thank you very much for your quick response.

Good morning Rotto (and others),

Please be aware that I updated the svn substantially this weekend, so you might want to do an update of your files.

Kind regards

EXITING

In your earlier replies (reply to Masoud), you have suggested the below command

export WAVES_DIR=<absolute path to waves2Foam directory>

Since I am new to linux and openFoam, please help me to solve this problem and guide me for proper installation. Thankyou very much.

Hi Sri,

In your specific case it should read

export WAVES_DIR=$HOME/Desktop/waves2Foam

Kind regards

Thanks Chris,

I got my floating object fully working. I am using a completely different solver though.

[sri_fmlab]

Hi Neils,

Thank You very much.
I successfully compiled the ./Allwmake.
but under COMPILE SOLVERS it has shown the below message

==========================
COMPILE SOLVERS
==========================
ls: cannot access /...../solver201/*: No such file or directory

Now, as you explained in wiki I am going to prepare application waveFoam from interFoam.

Here, my doubt is where should I create waveFoam folder?
because openfoam201 source folder is situated in /opt folder in CAELinux2011 and interFoam folder is situated like here given below
\opt\openfoam201\applications\solver\multiphase\in twerFoam


Kindly help me in this issue.

Thank you.

Hi Neils,

Now I successfully compiled the waves2Foam toolbox.
I also tried to couple waves2Foam with dynamic mesh.
I followed the wiki tutorial carefully.
Now I received the following error.

aloha Niels-
during the process of updating waves2Foam, i noticed in the updated svn that the solvers go from "solvers170" to "solvers210" -- are any of these compatible with OF 2.0.x?

chris

Hi Chris,

I have never had a version 2.0, so I cannot answer that question. But. The libraries and file location seem to change between every version update, which means that the options-file changes every time. This makes it unlikely that the solvers can compile on 2.0.<something>.

The only advice I can give is to follow the (slightly outdated) guide on the wiki on how to modify interFoam into waveFoam.

Kind regards

Niels

[sri_fmlab]

Hi Niels,

I am requesting your kind help.

I am using CAELinux 2011 and my openFoam is situated in /opt/openfoam201.

I have successfully compiled the Waves2Foam tool box and tried the tutorial waveFlume.

Unfortunately I received the following error:

Create mesh for time = 0

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
cannot open file

file: /home/mvr/waves2Foam/tutorials/waveFoam/3Dwaves/system/fvSchemes at line 0.

From function regIOobject::readStream()
in file db/regIOobject/regIOobjectRead.C at line 87.

FOAM exiting

I also checked the Allrun file in waveFlume folder (as you suggested in earlier replies)
but still I am receiving the same error.

Please help me in resolving the error.

Thank you
Sri

[ngj]

Hello,

I have tried executing the Allrun script in the case 3Dwaves, and it runs smoothly.

Do you execute the Allrun-script or do you simply type "blockMesh; waveFoam" in the command line? The latter procedure will generate the error you see.

Kind regards

Niels

Furthermore, as you know from my article, I get poor results for the wave breaking, when I am using an aspect ratio of anything but 1.

Good luck

Niels

Hi Niels,

I have to thank you for all the important pointers that you have given me. I was finally able to 'bring' the density term into the k omega model and it really improved the results. Please check out this video{http://youtu.be/l6pIlYbp9OY }.

I have a question about Equation 14. Let us say the near wall Unw is about 0.1 m/s (see for instance, Figure 11, H, AR=2), and the delY in this region are about 0.0002m. Then we can get nut negative (and very small), and this seems to be happening in my case. Did you have similar results? And I wonder if the negative value led you to call the eddy viscosity "artificial".

Best regards

Kumar

[eternityboy]

I have a problem now with subj chain.

when i start surfaceElevation - the utility calculates some values of the timeSteps and after several deltaT it stops.. the processors are fully loaded but the values does not produce any results anymore.
before 221 i had no problems with it..

i tried sample utility with lines and it works well, maybe different interpolation.. i had Cell in samples and CellPointFace... but i dont' know what's wrong now..

[ngj]

Hi,

I am sorry, but I cannot help you, as I am not using 2.2.1. myself. If you find a solution, I am happy to incorporate it into the sample utility.

Kind regards

Niels

[ngj]

Hi Kumar,

Yes, it really does look a lot better. I have tried understanding your question about the negative nut, however, I do not seem to follow exactly. Could you please elaborate on the problem and on how the numbers you give yield a negative value?

Kind regards

Niels

Hi Niels,

Thanks a lot for checking out the Video. Let me briefly explain how I think we could get -ve values for nut, first with Fig 11(H) and then my data.

Let us say the near wall delY is about 0.0002 ( of the order of roughness height; this is the delY in my case), then the right hand side of equation 13 is =(1/kappa)*ln(30*0.0002/0.0001) which is about 10. Now if we know the near wall velocity, Unw, uf will be about a 10th (of Unw). In figure 11(H) the near wall velocity will be smaller than about 0.1 m/s , for AR =2. This gives a uf of 0.01 ( or less). Let us now divide Equation 14 by density, then
uf^2=(nu+nut)*del(Unw)/(delY). and nut=uf^2/{del(Unw)/delY}-nu . This gives us 0.01^2/(0.1/0.0002)-1e-6, which is about -8e-07. The attached figure shows the u velocity from my data at x=9.725 m. And the Unw at the first cell is 0.05 m/s (much smaller than the article , perhaps because I have not run the model for long) and the nut that I get is all negative.

I hope my answer make sense. Please take a look and let me know what you think and if there are mistakes in my approach. And thanks again for being so helpful with your replies.

Best regards

Kumar

[ngj]

Good morning Kumar,

I see what you are doing, but I went into my code, and I do not seem to do anything special about nut, also, I do not remember that negative nut have been a concern/issue.

Sorry for not being able to help.

Kind regards

Niels

[kumar2]

Hi Niels,

Thank you very much for your reply. Let me review my negative nut results.

Best regards

Kumar

Hi Niels and all

I just begin to test waveFoam and the tutorial 3Dwave. It's ok but when I change the mesh et I run setWaveFields befor run the calculation, I have the following error message:
