pimpleFoam Vs pimpleDyMFoam -- Different Results

I am trying to simulate a cylinder in flow problem (2D).
Case 1 : Code:
Flow around a cylinder Turbulence Model : LES (all default values) Wall Function : nutUSpaldingWallFunction (for nuSgs) solver : pimpleFoam Code:
All physics same as Case 1. No Displacement on the mesh solver : pimpleDyMFoam Code:
OpenFOAM version 2.2.1 Now when I plot the forces(Lift and Drag) on the cylinder they are completely different. Here I am posting the plots. I am totally confused. I am doing this because I want to use the pimpleDyMFoam for FSI simulations (because of mesh motion possibility). So I want to make sure that pimpleDyMFoam, with mesh motion set to 0 on relevant patches, gives same result as pimpleFoam . But apparently this is not the case. Any hints to as what is happening is really helpful. |

Is there any particular reason for using v2.2.1?
Much newer versions are available, including many bug fixes. Perhaps that will resolve your issue. Otherwise, you'll have to open the two solvers and compare them. For instance, I noted the following difference in OF v4.0 in interFoam vs interDyMFoam yesterday: Code:
interDyMFoam: if (p_rgh.needReference()) // Statement irrelevant for mesh motion?? { fvc::makeRelative(phiHbyA, U); adjustPhi(phiHbyA, U, p_rgh); fvc::makeAbsolute(phiHbyA, U); } Code:
interFoam: adjustPhi(phiHbyA, U, p_rgh); (P.S.: Your bug might disappear if you set a non-zero very small mesh motion. Perhaps the fact that it is precisely zero is the reason you see this happening.) |
