Integral Equation to Foam Equation

Thilo · October 25, 2011, 15:32

Hi Everyone,

can someone please tell me, if I have implemented my equation right? As this is my first task I implement into openFoam, I'm not sure wether there are errors in my code which is running so far, but crashes after some timesteps.

My Equation is:

$\frac{\partial}{\partial t}\int f_i d V + \int{f_i \vec U \vec n}dA+\rho\int{U_i \vec U \vec n}dA +\int{p \vec e\cdot \vec n}dA$

with f: velocity times density
U: velocity
p: pressure

My OpenFoam code is:

fvVectorMatrix aFEeqn
(
fvm::ddt(aF)
+ fvm::div(ac_phi,aF)
+ rho * fvc::div(ac_phi_2,U)
+ fvc::grad(aP)
);

Thank you very much in advanced,

Thilo

You may have answered this already, but to make your question a little clearer...why not write it using latex (http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/sit...ne-forums.html).

Code:

\oint_{S} \vec{U}\vec{U}\cdot \hat{n}dA

produces

$\oint_{S} \vec{U}\vec{U}\cdot \hat{n}dA$

see link above for more explanation

What about the pressure equation ?

Indeed, your equation depends on the pressure field. Consequently the pressure must be evaluated elsewhere.

The classical method is to use SIMPLE or PISO algorithms.. (cf simpleFoam or pisoFoam or icoFoam)

Hi Cyp,

thanks for this advice. Indeed there is a pressure and a density equation, which I didn't mention. I was not shure, if I implemented the mentioned equation right and I didn't want to ask for to much help.

Meanwile I solved my problem!

With kind regards,

Thilo
