Hi dear foamers
I wrote a TEqn for my solver.
the formula is something like thisA. Bejan Convection Heat Transfer,2nd edition, pages 571,575,576)

-dp/dx = [(mu/K) (u)] + [rho*beta*U^2] (darcy-forcheheimer)

and the energy equation is something like this

rho(fluid)*Cp(fluid)[sigma dT/dt + UdT/dx]=k d2T/dx2 + q'" + (mu/K) u^2

k and sigma are:

k= (porosity*kf) + (1- porosity)*ks

Sigma = [porosity(rho*cp)fluid+(1-porosity)*(rho)solid]/(rho*cp)f

for my case there is no heat generation and also I ignored the last term which shows viscous dissipation.
omitting Q"' and (mu/K) u^2, we have :

rho(fluid)*Cp(fluid)[sigma dT/dt + UdT/dx]=k d2T/dx2

dividing both sides of equation to rho(fluid)*Cp(fluid) we have:

[sigma dT/dt + UdT/dx]=alpha d2T/dx2

alpha= k / rho(fluid)*Cp(fluid)

I have all the properties of solid and fluid and porosity,so I can easily define alpha,sigma.I wrote my TEqn.H file like this


// Solve the Energy equation
{
fvScalarMatrix TEqn
(
fvm::ddt(T)
+ fvm::div(phi, T)
- fvm::laplacian(alpha, T)
);
TEqn.solve();

}

I modified createFields.H file either.I defined alpha and sigma in transportProperties file and ask the code to read them from there.


Info<< "Reading transportProperties\n" << endl;

IOdictionary transportProperties
(
IOobject
(
"transportProperties",
runTime.constant(),
mesh,
IOobject::MUST_READ_IF_MODIFIED,
IOobject::NO_WRITE
)
);

dimensionedScalar sigma
(
transportProperties.lookup("sigma")
);
dimensionedScalar alpha
(
transportProperties.lookup("alpha")
);

Info<< "Reading field T\n" << endl;
volScalarField T
(
IOobject
(
"T",
runTime.timeName(),
mesh,
IOobject::MUST_READ,
IOobject::AUTO_WRITE
),
mesh
);

Info<< "Reading field p\n" << endl;
volScalarField p
(
IOobject
(
"p",
runTime.timeName(),
mesh,
IOobject::MUST_READ,
IOobject::AUTO_WRITE
),
mesh
);

Info<< "Reading field U\n" << endl;
volVectorField U
(
IOobject
(
"U",
runTime.timeName(),
mesh,
IOobject::MUST_READ,
IOobject::AUTO_WRITE
),
mesh
);



#include "createPhi.H"


label pRefCell = 0;
scalar pRefValue = 0.0;
setRefCell(p, mesh.solutionDict().subDict("SIMPLE"), pRefCell, pRefValue);

singlePhaseTransportModel laminarTransport(U, phi);

autoPtr<incompressible::RASModel> turbulence
(
incompressible::RASModel::New(U, phi, laminarTransport)
);

and finally my code is something like this,I used include TEqn.H out of simple loop.

I defined fvscheme and fvsolution file for T equation but I did not understand why this code give me wrong data.

would you please help me in this case,I'm really confused
every suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
if anyone has an experienced in this case please send me his/her email.
this error happened after running the code

Hi mohsen,

By seeing your second error it looks like you are giving some wrong BC. check your BC again. and in your divison terms some (0/0) term is becoming thats why sigpe error is coming.
