Dear Foamers!
I designed a raw tetra mesh for a first view over the geometry. I wanted to test the flow with icoFoam. Unfortunately the courant number explodes after a few timesteps. Do you have any ideas how to get this work? Thanks a lot! checkMesh: Code:

What is the value of your Courant number? Have you tried a smaller time step?
You have turned off the adjustable time step by the way, maybe this could help if it was on. Could you post the log file? |

Hii,
Please check the quality of your mesh using the checkMesh utility, and judge whether the relevant parameters (e.g aspect ratio) look good or not. Thanks, Tarak |

you can also run your computation by specifying a maximum courant number of 1 or 2, instead of specifying the time step.
This way, the time step will be adapted directly to avoid courant number being higher than the value you specify. At least, as long as possible. |

You can also try the following link. It shows how to use an adjustable time step depending on the Courant No.

Dear Foamers!
After the problems with the tet mesh, i designed a simple pipe with hexas to check the openfoam mesh files which are created out of pointwise. checkMesh is just Fine, courent number with icoFoam is ... yea going up. If i change the ncorrectors to zero the courant number is stable. I tried to modify the icoFoam solver to be adjustable for the timesteps, dont get it worked.

Hi
i write a loop in my UDF by C_FACE_loop. its worked in 3D but in 2D in fluent show this error "non-integer subscript expression: unsigned char" whats that mean? please help me to solve this thanks |

Dear Foamers!
The hex pipe is working, problem was the small cell size in combination with a too large timestep. The tet pipe is still pending, I think there is a problem with the mesh. The helix is done. All downloadable here --> Pipe meshes with pointwise Working hex pipe Crashing tet pipe helix mesh with pointwise Last edited by Artex85; January 5, 2012 at 04:52. Reason: update helix case |

Hello dear users,
I'v got stock within the problem that the pressure solver diverges with the following error. This is naca airfoil low reynolds simulation using pimpleFoam.

Dear arzi,
n pimple it is possible to set adjustTimeStep to yes and give the maximal Courant number. This ist the best way to work with pimple. controlDict: Code:
adjustTimeStep yes; maxCo 1;
