Hi
I set a second order turbulence scheme with an error:
Code:
divSchemes
{
    default none;
    div(tauMC) Gauss linear;
    div(phi) Gauss linearUpwindV;
    div(phi,omega) Gauss upwind;
    div(phi,k) Gauss linearUpwind;
    div(phi,gas) Gauss limitedLimitedLinear 1 0 1;
    div(phi,epsilon) Gauss linearUpwind;
}
Code:

Hi,
the question to me is, which version of OpenFoam you are using (the syntax is different in different versions) ?

In OpenFoam 2.2.0 just do:
Code:
divSchemes
{
default                     none;
div(phi,U)                  bounded Gauss linearUpwindV grad(U);
div(phi,k)                  bounded Gauss linearUpwind grad(k);
div(phi,omega)                 bounded Gauss linearUpwind grad(omega);
}
for a k-omega turbulence model and second order upwind schemes for the divergence terms.

thanks Philip
yes,I use version 2.2.0
now I'm using rhoCentralFoam and it doesn't have a div(phi,U) in it.
what to do with div(phi) instead?
my case is unsteady and compressible.
when we have to use bounded keyword?what conditions the problem should have?
thanks.

Greetings to all!

@Ehsan: "bounded" is the default option that OpenFOAM 2.2 indicates it will use, if not present in the respective line.
For more information on this characteristic, see section "4.4.2 Surface normal gradient schemes" on the User Guide.
Personally, I have no clue when "bounded" or other methods should be used... But the descriptions shown in the User Guide seem self-explanatory!?

And as Phillip hinted, the problem you were having was the missing "grad(epsilon)":
Code:
div(phi,epsilon) bounded Gauss linearUpwind grad(epsilon);
As for "div(phi)": if when you remove the respective line, the solver doesn't complain, then it's because it's not even used by the solver (because you have "default none;").

Best regards,
Bruno

You mean 'bounded' is related to snGrad ?or may be different to that?
I removed div(phi) without OF complaining.
Then OF uses a default method for this term in rhoCentralFoam?

I can only assume that "div(phi)" is simply not calculated, because of the "default none;" entry in "divSchemes".

Well, apparently there are a few usages of the "bounded" word going around in OpenFOAM's source code I only mentioned the ones I found in the User Guide, which referred to the surface gradients...

But after looking at the source code, here's what I found:
  • From the file "src/finiteVolume/finiteVolume/convectionSchemes/boundedConvectionScheme/boundedConvectionScheme.H"

    Quote:
    Bounded form of the selected convection scheme.

    Boundedness is achieved by subtracting div(phi)*vf or Sp(div(phi), vf)
    which is non-conservative if div(phi) != 0 but conservative otherwise.

    Can be used for convection of bounded scalar properties in steady-state
    solvers to improve stability if insufficient convergence of the pressure
    equation causes temporary divergence of the flux field.
  • There are a few other files that mention the word "bounded", but seem to be unrelated to this one above.

thanks.
so bounded schemes can be only used in steady-state runs as i have understood.
many thanks.

Hi,

you can use the bounded scheme in non steady-state cases too.

http://www.openfoam.org/version2.2.0/numerics.php

The functionallity of that scheme is defined in the libOpenSmoke thread.

yes I forgot about that thread.but I yet don't know exactly when bounded scheme should be used.
my case is compressible and unsteady and haven't a convergence problem.
then should I use bounded?
the fvScheme I use is this,is it correct or which changes I have to do?

hi
can any one explian that what is the definition of bounded and unbounded schemes, e.g in this table for explain behaviour of interpolation schemes,
which one is better, bounded or unbounded schemes?


Table 4.10. Behaviour of interpolation schemes used in divSchemes
linear : Second order, unbounded
skewLinear : Second order, (more) unbounded, skewness correction
cubicCorrected : Fourth order, unbounded
upwind : First order, bounded
linearUpwind : First/second order, bounded
QUICK : First/second order, bounded
TVD schemes : First/second order, bounded
SFCD : Second order, bounded
NVD schemes : First/second order, bounded

Hi Saeideh,

You can find some notions of what "bounded" is on the Programmers Guide: http://foam.sourceforge.net/docs/Gui...mmersGuide.pdf
Some more mentions are here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Wiki/Appro...grids_-_Common

From the following link - http://cfd.mace.manchester.ac.uk/twi...s/cfd1-pt1.pdf - I quote:

Boundedness
  • Ensures that the numerical solution lies within physical bounds.
  • For example, in a heat conduction problem the minimum and maximum temperatures should occur on the domain boundaries. A bounded scheme would not produce spurious maxima/minima within the domain.
  • Higher order discretization schemes (which one might want to use for accuracy) can often produce unbounded solutions in the form of undershoots and overshoots, which can sometimes lead to stability and convergence problems.
Best regards,
Bruno
