I'd like to run example case which is at this website:

http://www.ttd.tu-darmstadt.de/forsc...vofhard.en.jsp

In instruction that you can find in tar package in the above website, there are described steps how to run example case:

After compiling the solver evapVOFHardt and the initialization utility
initField the following steps have to be carried out:
• create mesh with blockMesh
• initialize droplet with ../initField/initField
• decompose computational domain (total mesh size is 80,000 cells) with decomposePar
• run solver with mpirun -np 4 ../evapVOFHardt/evapVOFHardt -parallel > log

I've never ever compiled solvers in OPENFoam, could you help me, how to do that?

I've tried to do it like it was written at some website:
http://www.csc.fi/english/research/s...penfoam/modsol

But I got such errors:
could not open file dynamicFvMesh.H for source file evapVOFHardt.C due to No such file or directory
could not open file dynamicRefineFvMesh.H for source file evapVOFHardt.C due to No such file or directory
could not open file twoPhaseMixture.H for source file evapVOFHardt.C due to No such file or directory
could not open file alphaContactAngleFvPatchScalarField.H for source file evapVOFHardt.C due to No such file or directory
could not open file createDynamicFvMesh.H for source file evapVOFHardt.C due to No such file or directory
could not open file meshCourantNo.H for source file evapVOFHardt.C due to No such file or directory

Does anyone knows how to compile it, and how initialize droplet?
I have OPENFoam v2.3.0

Hi,
Let's see what errors OpenFOAM prints out:
could not open file dynamicFvMesh.H for source file evapVOFHardt.C due to No such file or directory
......................


Please check the Make -> Options file. Here in the option file you have to give the link of the library class. Just check whether the correct path of the src is given. That's it!!

Greetings to all!

I was curious about this solver and I've made some adjustments to the building structure and then ported to OpenFOAM 2.2 and 2.3 as well. The resulting code and ports have been uploaded to this repository: https://github.com/wyldckat/evapVOFHardt - Build instructions and a bit more auxiliary information can be found there as well.

WARNING: I have not run the example case with either one of the OpenFOAM versions. I only did the adaptation and porting of the code and case. In other words: it seems to work, but I don't know if the results are the same with each version of OpenFOAM.


@lukasz: The original build problem is related to 2 issues:

1. The original source code was designed to work with OpenFOAM 2.1.0, not 2.3.0. This is briefly explained in the PDF file provided with the source code. As OpenFOAM keeps evolving from version to version, it's normal that updates have to be done to older custom code.
2. The original source code was still using a customized "dynamicFvMesh" library, which normally OpenFOAM users don't have . By switching to using the normal library, the build occurs without problems.

edit: I forgot to mention: the droplet is created by the utility "initField".

Best regards,
Bruno

I forgot to mention, but I installed 2.1.0 and succed in performing few simple simulations. Thanks Bruno for the help.

Hi Bruno,

I have simple pipe and I would like to run the evapVOFHard solver...
But i could not find appropriate inlet and outlet BC for psi0 and alphaS
Can you help me?
thanks in advance!
