I'm trying to simulate a fluidized bed (through modifying the pre-installed twoPhaseEulerFoam tutorial case). I want the gas phase to use the RAS kEpsilon model, and for the particles to have laminar flow. Thus, for my particles turbulence properties I set the simulationType to laminar, and kept the kEpsilon model for the gas turbulence properties. However, when I ran the solver, I got an error message that said:


Code:
keyword div((((alpha.particles*thermo:rho.particles)*nuEff.particles)*dev2(T(grad(U.particles))))) is undefined in dictionary "/home/alfred/OpenFOAM/alfred-6/run/fluidisedBedlaminarparticles/system/fvSchemes.divSchemes"

file: /home/alfred/OpenFOAM/alfred-6/run/fluidisedBedlaminarparticles/system/fvSchemes.divSchemes from line 30 to line 44.

    From function const Foam::entry& Foam::dictionary::lookupEntry(const Foam::word&, bool, bool) const
    in file db/dictionary/dictionary.C at line 566.
It looks like I have to change my divSchemes. However, I'm not very experienced with CFD, so I still have to learn about the underlying computational processes and I'm not sure what to modify.

How should I modify my fvSchemes or turbulenceProperties.particles so that I can simulate a fluidized bed with a laminar particle phase?


Thank you!!

Hi, gryphaea1635! I only read your message now. I have solved this problem by adding the follow line in divSchemes:
Code:
div\(\(\(\(alpha.*\*thermo:rho.*\)*nuEff.*\)\*dev2\(T\(grad\(U.*\)\)\)\)\)" Gauss linear;
