Pitz Daily oodles pressure field problem

prapanj · September 8, 2009, 08:55

Hi,

I was trying to run pitzDaily tutotial case under oodles (OF1.5.x). The pressure field is not making any sense to me. The pressure field is switching between +ve to negative values throughout and changing from time step to time step. I changed the fluctuation scale value in turbulentInlet boundary condition of U to (0 0 0) and then I was getting consistent pressure values.

why would this happen? Is the pressure BC at the inlet wrong ? I tried oodles on an external flow sim where forces were important and I was getting similar fluctuation in field, ( drag and lift oscillating in random).

Anybody has some insight on this?

Thanks,
Prapanj.

Hi:

I'm also trying to run pitzDaily tutorial case under oodles (OF 1.5.X). I have a problem like your. I want to know how you can correct it.

Thanks a lot,

I am so amazed that no one seems to be interested in figuring this out!
I have the same problem in the latest version with pisoFoam solver and the LES PitzDaily tutorial:

Someone please help!
