Hello!


I am using OF version 8. I read that it is possible to include the cp values via hTabulated in the thermodynamicProperties. So i tried to use it on my solid component but it didn't work. Is it not possible to do this?


And is there a Tutorial from version8 that uses hTabulated? I only found tutorials from older versions


Thanks in advance

Hi Claudia,

If you share the error, you can find help easier. Firstly, you should check source code in version-8 because there is a description and usage example there (src/thermophysicalModels/specie/thermo/hTabulated/hTabulatedThermo.H). Also, in v2012 there is a tutorial for tabulated thermophysical types there that you can modify for your own case (multiphase/icoReactingMultiPhaseInterFoam/inertMultiphaseMultiComponent).

And is there a Tutorial from version8 that uses hTabulated?

You can use "grep -r hTabulated" command for search in tutorials case. If any tutorial is using it that command will find the path.

Kind Regards,
Said.

I tried using hTabulated with rhoSimpleFoam and it worked, but it doesn't for chtMultiRegion (neither for solid or gas).

I am pretty new to OF and C++, but when I checked the source code, it seems that hTabulated it just not included in chtMultiRegionFoam. I am wondering, whether it is possible to add it there?



Also, another weird thing I noticed is that in the solidThermo/Make directory the files file is not .txt (see the attached picture). Is there something wrong?

Hello Claudia,

Have you solved it? I think I am facing the same issue. I am trying to use hTabulated for solid in chtMultiRegionFoam, but it seems not compatible with this solver/solid.

Hey, heRhoThermo, hTabulated, icoTabulated... are only valid for fluid thermo. You can't use it for solids .. try..

thermoType
{
type heSolidThermo;
mixture pureMixture;
transport constIso;
thermo eConst;
equationOfState rhoConst;
specie specie;
energy sensibleInternalEnergy;
}
