dear all,
i have one question, what is the procedure to make customised schemes in openFoam i mean other than existing schemes in openfoam. i need to implement the schemes like upwind.

thanks in advance

with regards
venkataramana

[Bernhard]

Upwind schemes are implemented a long, long time ago, see here how to use them: http://www.openfoam.com/docs/user/fvSchemes.php

[venkataramana]

what i mean to say the schemes other than upwind, linear which are available in openFoam, How to develop a new scheme and how to run it.

thanks for your reply,

[Bernhard]

I would it something like this: Start from an existing scheme that looks like the one you are looking for, copy them in your own folder, adjust to your wishes, compile into a library, and call that using controlDict from your simulation.

thank u very much, i will try it

Hi Bernard,
I have a doubt similar to Venkataramana's. Which file I have to edit to modify the van Leer scheme?
Thanks,
Paulo Vatavuk

See vanLeer.H

Hi Anton,
Thanks for the hint. I’ve been navigating the code documentation for almost one hour, but I can’t find the point were the vanLeerLimiter class is instantiated. I want to understand were the LimitedScheme parameter is defined. I’ve been studying C++ for some time but I’m still thinking in the FORTRAN way. Can you help me?
Thanks,
Paulo

It's a bit tough to find where it is instantiated because the trail breaks due to the use of macros. If you just want to implement a different limiter, just stick to vanLeer.H (updated link) and edit the limiter function there.

where should i call in controlDict file..

Hi Anton,
Thanks for the help.

[venkataramana]

can u write a procedure, to edit any scheme with steps in openFoam. i need to edit Gauss linear scheme.

thank u,

[vatavuk]

Hi Venkataramana,
I'm still trying to figure out how to do it. I suspect that creating a new scheme is more or less like creating a new boundary condition or a new turbulence model, because they all are runtime selectable. I found a programming tutorial that may help:

Best wishes,

Sorry I dupplicated the above post and I don't know how to remove it.

Dear all openfoam users,

where exactly the code for the following upwind scheme is available in openfoam,

.
if i want to edit the linear upwind scheme in to 2 nd order and 3rd order and how to implement it ( I mean procedure)
anybody implemented any schemes in open Foam.
Thanks in advance.

Dear foamers,

it has been a while since this post has been made. But I am still facing the same question. Where exactly can be found the implementation of the upwind scheme, or higher order convection schemes (deferred correction, k-scheme) in OpenFOAM?

See also this thread that I opened.

Thank you very much for your answers!

Hi Anne,

I am facing the same problem. Basically I would like to modify an existing scheme but I could not find where the scheme is defined. By following this path:

src/finiteVolume/interpolation/surfaceInterpolation/limitedSchemes

I found the "interpolation_scheme".H files, but I am afraid that they are related to the limiter of that "interpolation_scheme".

Did you sort out the problem, by any chance?

Cheers!
Paolo

Dear Paolo,

I don't know it will be of any use to you but I think you should refer the following cfd-online post:

Greetings to all!

@Tushar & Paolo
It is because of NDA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-disclosure_agreement). Detailed information of OpenFOAM comes under NDA

Check this out

@Tushar
Thank you very much for your reply. I have already had a look on th e post you suggested me but I couldn't find a solution to my problem.

@Andrew
Thanks to you too. I have also seen the post you suggested about the NDA and I think I am in a different situation. In that post they were talking about a particular case posted by the thread starter. If the case is under NDA, you cannot share information about your results whit other people. In my case I have just asked Anne if she had sorted out her problem and asked where I could find the OpenFOAM file I would like to modify.


Cheers to you All!
Paolo
