how to add DyM capabilities to an openFoam solver

donQi · June 12, 2014, 02:12

Hello,

I was looking for some advice and/or tutorials/links to help me understand how to add DyM capabilities to an openFoam solver.

for example If I take buoyantPimpleFoam
what would be the main steps to create "buoyantPimpleDyMFoam" solver?

Hi Don!!

I am also looking into the same matter.. Did you make any progress?? Could you tel me if you were successful in your attempts?? I am trying to convert the lagrangian DPMFoam solver to a solver with DyM capabilities.. I have tried to adapt it to the same manner as a 'pimpleDymFoam solver'.. But i encounter the following compilation error ...

Code:

In file included from /home/ask/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.0/src/fvOptions/lnInclude/fvOptionList.H:41:0,
                 from /home/ask/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.0/src/fvOptions/lnInclude/fvIOoptionList.H:38,
                 from DPMDyMFoam_mod.C:40:
/home/ask/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.0/src/fvOptions/lnInclude/fvOption.H:53:24: fatal error: meshToMesh.H: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [Make/linux64GccDPDebug/DPMDyMFoam_mod.o] Error 1

Do you have any ideas what is the cause for this error??

Regards

Hi Ansubru

Code:

fatal error: meshToMesh.H: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

it seems that the file not found during compilation is located in :

Code:

/src/sampling/lnInclude/meshToMesh.H

we can try to find a solver that uses similarly meshToMesh.H :

Code:

cd applications/solvers/
grep -R "meshToMesh.H" .

from the list we can choose for example

Code:

./multiphase/interFoam/interDyMFoam

Therefore my suggestion is to compare your Make/options file with the following

Code:

OpenFOAM-2.3.0/applications/solvers/multiphase/interFoam/interDyMFoam/Make/options

and add the libraries that are eventually missing from your file. Recompile and see if the error reappears.

From my side, my DyMization attempt is in stand-by.

Hi everyone. I am new on OpenFoam. I've just converted the 2D damBreak case to dynamic mesh. I don't know this will help you or not but for me, the main job was changing dynamicMeshDict.
good luck

I am also looking into creating a buoyantPimpleDyMFoam, that said a modified buoyantPimpleFoam solver that includes dynamic mesh refinement. Did anybody make progress on that?

Any tips or hints highly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Alex
