Why RNGkepsilon model gives floating error

shipman · August 31, 2013, 22:19

Dear Foam users;

I am studying cavitating flow inside of the nozzle. As turbulence model i have tried kwsst and kepsilon models. They worked fine, there was no problem. However, when i swtiched to RNGkepslion model, after 2 iterations suddenly velocity reaches crazy value and giving following folating point error;

mpirun noticed that process rank 6 with PID 29586 on node efs-desktop exited on signal 8 (Floating point exception).

to get rid of this trouble i tried following things;

I checked the mesh quality which was ok.
set the initial condition of the k and epsilon properl
2. I decreased courant number to decrease time step.
3. Additionaly decreased time step too.
4. Also tried decreasing of the relaxation factors gradually from 1 to 0.1

But still getting same error. Is there anybody who has idea how to correct and run the RNGkepsilon model?

Thanks in advance.

PS: you can see my initial conditions below.

Hi George,

There is some information missing from the crash, because there is no indication of which signal was triggered.

Either way, it does give an indication that something went wrong in the preconditioner, which suggests that either:

The equation/matrix solver itself should be different or reconfigured in "fvSolution".
Or that the k-epsilon or some other field went completely in the wrong direction, for some strange reason.

My suggestion is to try and see the results from the 1st and 2nd iterations, so that you can see the values for the k-epsilon fields and figure out if they have values that are very large or very small.

Best regards,
Bruno

Dear Bruno,

First thanks so much for your kind reply. According to your answer, one more time i decreased the courant number and relaxation factors for the k and epsilon. This time i thought that it was working but after 200 iteration again suddenly velocity reached the crazy value and gave floating point errror as follows:

could you tell me your idea how can i run my case with RNGkepsilon model?

Hi George,

If it has ran for 200 iterations this time, then you better have a look at the results, so visually inspect where the problem is coming from.

Here's an example where visually inspecting the results was the only way to figure out what was happening wrong: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post446350 - post #17

Best regards,
Bruno

Either way, it does give an indication that something went wrong in the preconditioner, which suggests that either: The equation/matrix solver itself should be different or reconfigured in "fvSolution". Or that the k-epsilon or some other field went completely in the wrong direction, for some strange reason. My suggestion is to try and see the results from the 1st and 2nd iterations, so that you can see the values for the k-epsilon fields and figure out if they have values that are very large or very small.
