Comparison of results calculated by OpenFOAM's turbulent model kwSST in weir flow

Akun · March 22, 2023, 06:13

Hello guys.

I am not good at English, so there may be some awkward parts in the question. I would appreciate it if you could understand this.

I calculated with OpenFOAM following the same weir case as the paper, but I don't know if this result is correct. The turbulence model used k-w SST.
The flow away from the weir end is different from the picture in the paper.
I think it's normal if the same flow as the attached second picture continues to come out continuously. However, the calculated flow converges after a certain period of time, just like the picture I calculated in the first picture.
The attached second picture is described as a capture of the instantaneous flow in the paper.
I want to know if the weir case I calculated is well calculated, is there a post to refer to, or I'm wondering if you guys have any opinions.

Thank you for reading my post.

You are experiencing a problem that also happens on physical experiments: lack of areation behind the jet. Make sure to leave a pressure inlet in the jump region in order to allow air to enter.

For me, it looks like you used a sReynolds number much lower than in the reference work. Could you give the numbers, please?

Thank you for your answer. I'll try as you comment

Thank you for your answer.
The Reynolds number is 4845.27.

which version of the package did you use? Is that OF6?

No, to be exact, v2206 on www.openfoam.com
