 January 5, 2012, 18:15 Adding a user-variable field in gas-solid flow case #1 New Member   Amir Hossein Ahmadi Motlagh Join Date: Jan 2012 Posts: 5 Rep Power: 6 I am a beginner in UDF programming and am simulating a 2D gas-solid fluidized bed and want to add an arbitrary user variable (just for test) which holds : rho_g*rho_s. I want to calculate this variable in every cell and show it in post-processing section to view contours. I also want to print it in console. In this way, I have used DEFINE_ON_DEMAND(on_demand_calc) function the following way: Code: /********************************************************************** UDF to Print a new user variable Rho_g*Rho_s in a multiphase flow. ***********************************************************************/ #include "udf.h" DEFINE_ON_DEMAND(on_demand_calc) { Thread *thread_g, *thread_s; real rho_g, rho_s; cell_t c; Domain *g; Domain *mix_domain; Domain *s; g= Get_Domain(2);/* gas phase */ s= Get_Domain(3);/* solid phase*/ mix_domain = Get_Domain(1); Thread *mix_thread = Lookup_Thread(mix_domain,1); thread_g = THREAD_SUB_THREAD(mix_thread, 0);/* gas phase */ thread_s = THREAD_SUB_THREAD(mix_thread, 1);/* solid phase*/ /* Loop over all cells */ begin_c_loop(c,mix_thread) { rho_g = C_R(cell, thread_g); rho_s = C_R(cell, thread_s); printf("\n rho_g*rho_s= %g\n",rho_g*rho_s); C_UDMI(c,mix_thread,0) = rho_g*rho_s; } end_c_loop(c,t) } I can not compile or interpret this UDF. Could anybody kindly check to see if I am going the right way and what is the problem with it? errors when compiling: Code: ..\..\src\rho_gs.c(18) : error C2275: 'Thread' : illegal use of this type as an expression c:\program files\ansys inc\v130\fluent\fluent13.0.0\src\mem.h(744) : see declaration of 'Thread' ..\..\src\rho_gs.c(18) : error C2065: 'mix_thread' : undeclared identifier ..\..\src\rho_gs.c(20) : error C2065: 'mix_thread' : undeclared identifier ..\..\src\rho_gs.c(20) : error C2223: left of '->sub_threads' must point to struct/union ..\..\src\rho_gs.c(21) : error C2065: 'mix_thread' : undeclared identifier ..\..\src\rho_gs.c(21) : error C2223: left of '->sub_threads' must point to struct/union ..\..\src\rho_gs.c(25) : error C2065: 'mix_thread' : undeclared identifier ..\..\src\rho_gs.c(25) : error C2223: left of '->nelements' must point to struct/union ..\..\src\rho_gs.c(27) : error C2065: 'cell' : undeclared identifier ..\..\src\rho_gs.c(28) : error C2065: 'cell' : undeclared identifier ..\..\src\rho_gs.c(30) : error C2065: 'mix_thread' : undeclared identifier ..\..\src\rho_gs.c(30) : error C2223: left of '->storage' must point to struct/union errors when interpreting: Code: Error: C:\Users\ahmadimo\Desktop\FV\Ellis\rho_gs.c: line 18: parse error.

So that is error reported by my compiler (GCC). In addition, variables s and g are not used (that is just two warnings).

Thanks for the reply. I corrected that , but the errors still remain. I think there might be a problem with this one:
Code:
Thread *mix_thread = Lookup_Thread(mix_domain,1);
but I am not sure what the problem is. Is the overall code doing the right thing? I would appreciate if someone could help me if I am going the right way or is it a better way of adding a new user-defined variable like the one I need (rho_g*rho_s).

Thanks
Amir
