What is the reason of these errors ? I use rhoPimpleFoam as solver and I define the "thermophysicalProperties" file for water.

Thank you for your help.

heRhoThermo is not of type psiThermo. Or in other words: the solver you are using does only support thermo models based on a compressibility psi and not on density like the rhoThermo variants. The list that is output contains all options available to this solver.

Thank you very much for your reply. I used the type as "rhoThermo" instead of "psiThermo". The previous errors were solved, but the new ones appeared on the command panel

I use "rhoPimpleFoam" as solver for analyses.What do you think about these errors? Are they related to the solver type ?

Bloerb · December 11, 2017, 13:12

As stated before you can't use rhoThermo. This time you replaced thermoType for some reason. It has to look somethink like this:

Code:

thermoType
{
type hePsiThermo; 
mixture pureMixture;
transport polynomial;
thermo hPolynomial;
equationOfState icoPolynomial;
specie specie;
energy sensibleEnthalpy;
}

...

gemxx · December 11, 2017, 14:19

Yes, as you said when I replace hePsiThermo as thermoType, there is not any errors. But this thermoType, hePsiThermo, is suitable for water? I want to use compressible solver for water in order to obtain more accurate results for acoustic analyses.

Well that depends on what you want to solve. check the OpenFOAM user guide section 7.1

So the density can only be calculated via perfectGas and PengRobinsonGas laws. If that suffices for you, then yes. Otherwise no

Hi,
I'm having the same issue, well kinda.
I am able to rhoCentralFoam solver using openFOAM 5 with good results and no problems as follows:

thermoType
{
type hePsiThermo;
mixture pureMixture;
transport polynomial;
thermo hPolynomial;
equationOfState PengRobinsonGas;
specie specie;
energy sensibleEnthalpy;
}

BUT, when I try to run the solver using openFOAM 8, then it shows the error:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Unknown psiThermo type

the thing is the list valid psithermotypes does not contain the models combination that I need, even though it works in OF5 and I don't know why.

Is there any other thing I need to update or change to make it work in OF8??

thanks!

But this thermoType, hePsiThermo, is suitable for water? I want to use compressible solver for water in order to obtain more accurate results for acoustic analyses.
