Dear all,

Since I am a newer of OpenFoam, There is a question about using VTKFoam. When I complier, ther are some error. Could you please help me this?

Thanks deeply.

Hi Every one,
I am running the lid cavity tutorial. But, I am having a problem with the postprocessing paraview (paraFoam). I can run paraview alone, and it seems to work fine. But, when I do as described in the manual and as shown below, it creates a segmentation fault. Is there any one to help in this regard.
Regards

Cannot find module "libPVFoamReader.so"

That module is the OpenFOAM supplied paraview reader. Check your directories and if you deleted it restore it from the OpenFOAM .tgz packs.

Dear Wes Maru,
you can use foamToVTK and usr paraview to view those files.

I don't know if this is the same problem (just a guess):

Do you have a non-OpenFOAM-paraview installation on your machine? The scripts provided with the OpenFOAM-paraview-binary append to the PATH and the LD_LIBRARY_PATH-variable. Because of this paraFoam tries to access the paraview it was not compiled to work with.

Either
- remove the old paraview installation
- rewrite the init-scripts

Hi Every one,

I have tried to use OpenFOAM few years ago, but drifted away on other matters - so, you could call me one of the new bees.

I have interest to model a Steam Injector using OpenFOAM. However, I am not sure if it has that capability.

The steam injector is a passive jet pump (with no moving parts) that has various applications, and currently, widely investigated in the nuclear industry (see its historical development http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injector).

Essentially, a motive fluid (steam) from a high pressure vessel is released and passes through a nozzle supersonically and expands into a mixing chamber while entraining a working fluid (water or slurry) in the form of a jet before it breaks up and vaporises due to momentuum and heat energy transfer - forming a two-phase or dispered flow.
The two-phase system (condensing steam, vaporising water) finally passes through a diffuser throat as liquid.

The process involves both compressible flow (supersonic steam) and incompresible fluids (water), a water jet breakup, phase change of both water and steam.

Does OpenFOAM has such supersonic two-phase flow modelling capability at present? or
Is it potentially extendable to address such problems (for example, including scramjet fuel injection under cross flow ?)

I will appreciate your advice, specially commenting past experiences and more importantly the best place to start in investigating OpenFOAM so that I can spend some time on it.

Many thanks in advance

Wes
