Everyone,i use simplefoam with standard k-epsilon model to calculate the wind farm.when i type the command "simpleFoam",i get the following information:Create mesh for time = 0

Don't know if it may cause the issue, but, as the error says, you're missing the word "uniform" in your U conditions.
I would start by correcting that.

Thanks for your reply.I think it is just a warning and it should not the reason for my problem.Because i can calculate well in the other case with the warning.

Hi,
if you are sure that your BCs are okay for U (you can check in paraview) I would try to stabilize the first iterations by using a cellLimited grad schemes and setting the relaxation factors for k and eps to 05. or 0.4

Best regards

when i use cellLimited,there gives me the following error:--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
Grad scheme not specified

Valid grad schemes are :

8
(
Gauss
cellLimited
cellMDLimited
extendedLeastSquares
faceLimited
faceMDLimited
fourth
leastSquares
)

Hi
I would try:

gradSchemes
{
default cellLimited Gauss linear 1;
}

Hi,

When you used cellLimited Gauss linear 1; what do you mean it failed. Did it fail to even start or did it fail to converge like before?

And also, is there a reason for using limited scheme for sngrad and laplacian terms?

it fail to converge like before.i make some changes,and it convergence.But i do not know the output is right or not.when i solve my problem,i will share my experience.

The following is my case files:https://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/69253136/system/fvSchemes

https://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/69253136/0/p
https://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/69253136/0/U
The problems I am now facing with are as following:first,when it calculate to the time=353,it occure noconvergence;second,I sample same points's value of velocity,i am sure they are wrong.I only change the files of fvsolution and fvschemes.please give me some advice to correct them.

Hi,

your breakup is coused by the turbulence model!
Code:
bounding k, min: 0 max: 50.8029155486 average: 1.44150802022
ExecutionTime = 126.62 s ClockTime = 141 s
bounding is not very "good" it can appear in the simulation but should stabilize while running your case.
But you have a problem with your model:
Code:
#6 Foam::incompressible::RASModels::kEpsilon::correct () in "/opt/openfoam210/platforms/linuxGccDPOpt/lib/libincompressibleRASModels.so"
Well maybe you`ve wrong BC or completely unrealistic values for k?
I would have a look at that be for trying to change the schemes!
I think you `ve got a BC-problem. If you are not sure, save your first time step and have a look at the results. There you should see where your peaks are (k, espilon, p, U ...) - maybe there is a mesh problem at all?


I would give you the advice to correct the "uniform" error. Well maybe its not a problem but you should set the files for OF correct.

Tobi


PS: Solver for k, eps.... PBiCG -- have a look at the tutorials pitzDaily
