Hi everyone,

I have some problems developping a viscosity model in OpenFoam-2.2.2. This model is quite simple : for a given value of the strain rate, I have a viscosity value.

So this is what I'm trying :

1) copy paste "src/thermophysicalModels/specie/transport/sutherland" to "src/thermophysicalModels/specie/transport/myTotalTransport"
2) renamed everything, and cleaned the constructors and operators.
3) created a createFields.H file :
Code:
#include "interpolationTable.H"

interpolationTable<scalar> timeSeriesViscosity
(
"constant/viscosity.dat"
);
4) I included the createFields.H file in the others .C and .H files.
5) Modified the function mu in the file "~I.H"
Code:
template<class Thermo>
inline Foam::scalar Foam::myTotalTransport<Thermo>::mu
(
)const
{
volScalarField sr = strainRate();
return timeSeriesViscosity(sr.value());
}
6) Modify the thermoPhysicsTypes.C to add my new model.
7) Compiled : these are the errors
- strainRate : working with incompressible models, but not here
Code:
error : there are no arguments to 'strainRate' that depend on a template parameter, so a declaration of 'strainRate' must be available
- interpolationTable : I have included "interpolationTable.H", so I don't understand this one :
Code:
error: 'interpolationTable' does not name a type
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'll start fixing the problem with the strainRate first. It seems it's not defined for compressible flow : as far as I understand the code, there is no volScalarFields defined at this level.

So I need to compute manually the value of the strain rate at the current cell. How can I get an access to
- the velocity ?
- symm() ?
- fvc::grad() ?

Hello everyone,

I did it with incompressible fluids. Then I compiled another thermo model for compressible fluids.
And now I'm stuck with the selection table. Where is the file I need to modify to enable the choice ?

heRhoThermo -
pureMixture -
myTransportModel -
hconst -
perfectFluid -
specie -
sensibleInternalEnergy

I tried to modify the file /src/thermoPhysicalModels/specie/include/thermoPhysicsTypes.H, but there is no mention of perfectFluid in this file, I guess it's the wrong place.

Thank you.

EDIT : It seems it's the file rhoTermos.C.

Hello Aurelien,

Could you share how did you include the strain rate for compressible models?... It seems like an unanswered question everywhere.

Thank you in advanced
