Hi guys, I've been trying to simulate a multiphase hydraulic turbine for months with interFoam. I need someone who has experience for my thesis. My boundary conditions are as follows:
alpha.water inlet fixed value uniform 1 outlet inletOutlet inletValue uniform 0 value uniform 0 wall zeroGradient AMI1 and AMI2 cyclicAMI symmetry on the back and front ( I 'm simulate 2D case for now) k,omega are turbulente inlet and wall functions with an arbitrary value (the simulation does not go well in the laminar conditions) for U i have: inlet fixedValue (10.74 0 0) outlet pressureInletOutletVelocity wall no slip fo p_rgh: inlet fixedFluxPressure outlet fixedValue uniform 0 wall fixedFluxPressure For the preliminary study I use MRF with 1000 rpm. The turbine starts full of air and the water begins to enter, already here I have the first problems because the air reaches very high speeds and crashes the simulation. I tried initializing with turbine full of water but nothing done. I tried to initialize with 0 rpm but still the timestep is really low (1e-7 on average).I've tried various meshes but not even the best one seems to work well, with 66 non-orthogonality and 0.7 skewness. I hope someone will give me some advice, thanks! |
