Hi to everyone,
i have installed OP1-6, and i've compiled the tutorial file "cavity" with rhoPisoFoam, and obliously, it worked until time 10.0.

than i created a mesh with Gmsh, (this is the .geo) file:

Point(1) = {1, 1, 0, 0.1};
Point(2) = {1, -1, 0, 0.1};
Point(3) = {-1, -1, 0, 0.1};
Point(4) = {-1, 1, 0, 0.1};
Point(5) = {1, -1, 0.1, 0.1};
Point(6) = {1, 1, 0.1, 0.1};
Point(10) = {-1, 1, 0.1, 0.1};
Point(14) = {-1, -1, 0.1, 0.1};
Line(1) = {1, 4};
Line(2) = {4, 3};
Line(3) = {3, 2};
Line(4) = {2, 1};
Line(8) = {5, 6};
Line(9) = {6, 10};
Line(10) = {10, 14};
Line(11) = {14, 5};
Line(13) = {2, 5};
Line(14) = {1, 6};
Line(18) = {4, 10};
Line(22) = {3, 14};
Line Loop(6) = {4, 1, 2, 3};
Plane Surface(6) = {6};
Line Loop(15) = {4, 14, -8, -13};
Ruled Surface(15) = {15};
Line Loop(19) = {1, 18, -9, -14};
Ruled Surface(19) = {19};
Line Loop(23) = {2, 22, -10, -18};
Ruled Surface(23) = {23};
Line Loop(27) = {3, 13, -11, -22};
Ruled Surface(27) = {27};
Line Loop(28) = {8, 9, 10, 11};
Plane Surface(28) = {28};
Surface Loop(1) = {6, 28, 15, 19, 23, 27};
Volume(1) = {1};
Physical Surface("movingWall") = {19};
Physical Surface("frontAndBack") = {6, 28};
Physical Surface("fixedWalls") = {15, 23, 27};
Physical Volume(29) = {1};

i made the mesh, and i tried to compile it with the same solver and the same boundary condictions.
however the solver stopped, at time 3.58.

I noticed that:

• the courant numer is high, but in the tutorial is allways small.
• the evolution of the fluid is different between my file and the first (i saw it with paraview).

So i think that the problem is the only the mesh, because it's the only difference, but what i have to do for adjust it?

thank you to everyone!

I have had good luck with the quality of meshes scripted in gmsh.

It is likely that the boundary conditions are slightly mixed up. Thats where the majority of my problems have derived.

Scan through all(even ones that dont seem important) of the case files checking to make sure the correct boundaries are referenced.


Good Luck!

Hi guys

I have the same problem (albeit a year later), so I tried newbee's advice. But there's something wrong with mine. It extrudes the surface to create a 'box', but it doesn't create volume elements. It just creates two surfaces with the same 2D mesh.

Can anyone help?
