Hi everyone,
I am quite new with using OpenFoam and if I could have feed back from experienced users, I would be very grateful about it. I am running of solid-liquid heat transfer problem with a air flow flowing in a rectangular channel above obstacles. The obstacles are hot and the flow aims at cooling them. Moreover, one obstacle expulses air with a high speed. As everything is rectangular I made the mesh with blockMesh and checkMesh says it is OK. However, the simulations is very slow (more than 12 hours in parallel) even if the mesh is quite small (~ 20 000 cells) because it is 2D. I tried running it in serial or in parallel (with various number of cores up to 12) but even if the speed up in parallel is noticable it stays very slow. Is it normal to be so slow ? The case is based on the multiRegionHeater tutorial and the fvSolution and fvSchemes are the same. A piece of mesh can be found attached, the blue arrows correspond to the normal air flow (5 m/s) and the red one to the gas explusion (50 m/s). What could be done to increase the speed ? Thanks a lot ! fvSchemes for solid region Code:

Hello!
What do you mean with very slow? - The convergence? - The velocity of the domain? or someting else... ------------------------------------------------------------- Post the residuals please. Post the setups of controlDict please. ------------------------------------------------------------- Steady state or transient is your target? In ddtShemes you have Euler --> transient If your simulation stady state then you must change it to steadyState in all domains! ------------------------------------------------------------- Increase your deltaT to higher value... ------------------------------------------------------------- in decomposeParDict files (all of them), use simple with n (x 1 1), where x is the number of cores you use. Supposing your flow in X direction... ------------------------------------------------------------- In U change internalField to: uniform (5 0 0), so that the velocity inside the domain starts with better values, or (50 0 0) if your inlet velocity 50 m/sec. Supposing your flow in X direction... ------------------------------------------------------------- Run checkMesh and be sure that the domain hast the right dimensions. All dimensions are in m. Post the output please. ------------------------------------------------------------- PIMPLE { momentumPredictor yes; nCorrectors 2; nNonOrthogonalCorrectors 0; } Reduce nCorrectors --> 0 This makes the solving faster, but unstable. Divergence could happend. ------------------------------------------------------------- openFoam version? Regards Peter Last edited by peterhess; September 5, 2021 at 17:33. |

Hello Peter,
Thanks a lot for your answer ! I am in fact interested with the transient state (to see how does the temperature change in the solid regions) ideally during 5 to 10 minutes of real time. I mean with very slow that the simulation takes a very long time to complete. Calculating 0.1 s can take more than 15 minutes to complete. I am using openFOAM version 21.06 on Ubuntu 20.04. checkMesh Code:

Hello,
I tried your solution. It works in fact quite well to speed up the solver, however the results are completely inaccurate. The parameter that speed up the simulation is nCorrectors, it runs a lot faster when it is set to 0 instead of 2. However, when it is set to 0, the results are inaccurate and thus non-usable. By visualizing the results with paraFoam, we can see that the problem comes from the velocity field which isn't initialized correctly. When trying to initialize the velocity field first with nCorrectors = 2 and then reducing the number of correctors to 0, the simulation runs again as slow as before. In fact, I think that the problem of the slowness might come from the mesh. The deltaT is around 2e-6 to have a Courant number of 0.9, which is quite small. However, I don't see how I can improve the mesh. If you have any suggestions, I would be very glad to here them. Thanks again, Best regards |

Well, the problem looks in prgh boundary conditions.
Use the following conditions for prgh field: Inlets and walls: type fixedFluxPressure; Outlets: type fixedValue; ---------------------------------------------- Use: PIMPLE { momentumPredictor yes; nCorrectors 5; nNonOrthogonalCorrectors 1; } Then reduce after stabilization(i.e. velocity field is calculated and not change itself too much): nCorrectors 1; The first steps will take a while, until the flow field is calculated, then runs faster after reducing nCorrectors . ---------------------------------------------- Use also small deltaT at the start, store the results and then restart with higher deltaT, starting from the values you stored (not from 0). startFrom latestTime; ---------------------------------------------- Post please the output of one of the time steps (not the first one). ---------------------------------------------- checkMesh is OK. Your units look also OK. Regards Peter Last edited by peterhess; September 13, 2021 at 01:06. |

For better viewing the residuals and supposing you use gnuplot use the following:
"< cat your_output_file | grep 'Solving for h' | cut -d' ' -f9 | sed -n 'p;N;N;N;N' | tr -d ','" title 'h' with lines,\ "< cat your_output_file | grep 'Solving for p_rgh' | cut -d' ' -f9 | sed -n 'p;N' | tr -d ','" title 'prgh' with lines Where your_output_file is the log file name of the solver |

Hello Peter,
Thanks a lot for your answer. I tried your solution by beginning to run with 5 correctors and then reduce this number to 1 after a few time steps. It works quite well with 5 correctors but as soon as I set this number to 1, it divergences as can be seen on the Residuals. I started each time with a deltaT of 1e-6 but using adjustableTimeStep with a maximum Courant number of 0.9, the timeStep raises around 1e-5. I attached the Residuals (the change in the number of correctors is made around the 60000 iterations and as we can see it started to diverge here). Below is also a snapshot of the log file for a time step with 5 correctors and with only one. My boundary conditions were already on fixedFluxPressure for wall and inlet and fixedValue for outlet. In fact, I am not sure anymore that something can be done to improve the speed as the model is already quite stable and seems correct physically speaking. I guess I will just have to be patient :-( Thanks a lot ! Regards. log file 5 correctors Code:

Hello,
Try the following in fluid p_rgh solver: solver PCG; preconditioner DIC; -------------------------------------- Looking to the first residuals you posted, you can see that actualy just two nCorrectors are needed since the number of iterations for the third ist 1 as marked in red. Quote:
And actualy just one nCorrectors is sufficient, as shown in the second residuals you posted. Those residuals show also no divergence. All values are acceptable. The Problem must be in the solver, since your boundary conditions are right. ---------------------------------- nNonOrthogonalCorrectors 1; is good. ---------------------------------- Is the velocity at the outlet: inletOutlet? zeroGradient is unstable and cause problems. It should be like this. Do you have back flow? ---------------------------------- Try to see the velocity and/or temperature fields at the start of divergence to see where is the problem happens. ---------------------------------- You can post the case so I can have a look to it.

This is your problem:
Code:
Region: air Courant Number mean: 0.0451301 max: 0.90056502 Region: module1a Diffusion Number mean: 2.1285332e-06 max: 1.6726315e-05 Region: module1b Diffusion Number mean: 2.165626e-06 max: 2.582219e-05 Region: module2 Diffusion Number mean: 9.3784851e-07 max: 1.5112033e-05 Region: module3 Diffusion Number mean: 9.3784851e-07 max: 1.5112033e-05 Region: module4 Diffusion Number mean: 9.6198964e-07 max: 1.5112033e-05 Region: cell Diffusion Number mean: 2.1285332e-06 max: 1.6726315e-05 Region: rod Diffusion Number mean: 0.0034288982 max: 0.093338961 deltaT = 2.6703593e-05 You could switch your solid regions to GAMG solver. Since those are a lot faster. The main thing you need to try is however is increasing your time step. You could try increasing maxCo > 1 which will lead to instability. You can solve every time step more than once with nOuterCorrectors and the typical PIMPLE settings to prevent it from blowing up. For simple flows you might be OKish with maxCo 100, you are however still loosing flow features which are rapidly changing. Or you need to coarsen your grid. This is a typical problem for transient runs with high flow velocities. You might want to try dirty tricks like the frozenFlow=yes switch. I.e you compute the flow for a while and then switch the computation of the flow of. Freezing the flow velocites to the ones you currently have. If your flow is stationary you can even compute the steady state beforehand. Which only leaves the energy transport to solve. And because of that you can use Co numbers that are much higher and you can still solve the transient temperature. It will however only work if you flow is not changing, but your temperature profile is. Like in high Re pipe flow. |
