Hi, everyone!

Now I want to express the equation below in fvScalarMatrix, where uj is a velocity vector, p is the pressure, and M is a constant Mach Number.

M^2\frac{\partial p}{\partial t}+M^2u_j \frac{\partial p}{\partial x_j} + \frac{\partial u_j}{\partial x_j} = 0

I wrote LHS of this equation in fvScalarMatrix as
Code:
fvm::ddt(p)+U & fvc::grad(p)+ fvc::div(U/M/M)
But the compiler told me:' const Foam::Vector<double>' is not derived from 'const Foam::dimensioned<Type>'

I think something must be wrong with my expression in fvScalarMatrix. Can anyone help me correct it?

I also want to know how to treat grad(p) implicitly. I have searched in the forum about implicit gradient for a long time, but I still cannot get the answer.

Billions of thanks,

Xiangyu

Hi,

Try:

fvm::ddt(p)+U & fvc::grad(p)+ pow(M,-2)*fvc::gGrad(U)

Pay attention for the dimensions too.

Good Luck !
