Hi all,

I have been working on a new solver by modifying the "buoyantBoussinesqPisoFoam".

I have added an explicit source to the temperature equation (as done in the tutorial "porousExplicitSourceReactingParcelFoam" and also an implict source to the momentum equation.
// Solve the momentum equation
fvVectorMatrix UEqn
(
fvm::ddt(U)
+ fvm::div(phi, U)
+ turbulence->divDevReff(U)
// - fvm::Sp(0.5*Cd*LAD*mag(U),U)
// -fvm::Sp(mag(fvc::Sp(Cd*LAD*0.5,U) ),U)
);
UEqn.relax();
if (momentumPredictor)
{
solve
(
UEqn
==
fvc::reconstruct
(
(
fvc::interpolate(rhok)*(g & mesh.Sf())
- fvc::snGrad(p)*mesh.magSf()
)
)
-fvc::Sp(mag(fvc::Sp(Cd*LAD*0.5,U) ),U)
);
}

where Cd is a constant and LAD is a scalarField. I set non uniform values by means of setFieldDict.



//solve the temperature equation
{
volScalarField kappaEff
(
"kappaEff",
turbulence->nu()/Pr + turbulence->nut()/Prt
);
fvScalarMatrix TEqn
(
fvm::ddt(T)
+ fvm::div(phi, T)
- fvm::laplacian(kappaEff, T)
==
temperatureSource.Su()
);
TEqn.relax();
TEqn.solve();
rhok = 1.0 - beta*(T - TRef);
}

The temperature source is set to a determined reion by means of cellset.

The solver compiles (see attached), but when I intend to run a case, the velocity increases really fast and the simulation crashes. I cannot find the error... ¿maybe in my boundary conditions? (see also case attached).

I would really appretiate any help!

Thanks in advance
Cristina

Can anyone help me? This case is driving me crazy. I think it is a question of the pressure boundary conditions....


I attach the error:

Hi Cristina

Thanks for the post.

I have been trying to simulate flow over a heated cylinder using buoyantBoussinesqPisoFoam(foam-extend-4.1). Part of my error has similarities with yours. In addition to the immediate surge in velocity magnitudes, I get the forceCoefficients as 0. I know this is an old post however, I would like to know if you solved this.

Thank you
