Default User-Defined Scalar (UDS) Source code

Hi, Everybody,

I am using UDF in the source term of UDS. The equation is U*A*CEcell*Scalar/ V, where U is the velocity; A is the face area that normal to U; CEcell is function of U, but here it is treated as constant for test the code; V is the control volume of the cell.

I wrote a code (the simplified code is followed in the end) but there is error as followed. Experts, please give me some advice about the problem, I am really working on this problem for a long time. I post the problem before, but nobody answer me. I just try again, hope someone can help me .

Error:
FLUENT received fatal signal (ACCESS_VIOLATION)
1. Note exact events leading to error.
2. Save case/data under new name.
3. Exit program and restart to continue.
4. Report error to your distributor.

Did you activate de UDS in the fluent menu? This is a tipical error when some pointer is doing his work anomaly.

Thank you, jpcfd, for the reply.
What I did is that simulate the air flow first to get the velocity, then introduce 8 UDSs, change the diffusivity under material; flux under UDS; then initial value from the inlet; and source term under porous zone under boundary conditions. Then uncheck the equations of flow and turbulence under solution control to continue iteration. Can this active the UDS you asked? It works before I use this code, but this code is reasonable.

Hi Gloria,
there are several errors in your code. First of all you have to realize that DEFINE_SOURCE loops over cells and not faces. Thus, F_AREA() does not know for which face f (and which face-thread t) it should compute the area. This definitely causes an access violation.
c_face_loop may be the macro that helps you as it loops over all faces of a given cell. Having a closer look at the udf-user guide will help too.

cheers

Hi, Coglione,

Thank you for the suggestion. I wrote a code using c_face_loop(c,t,i), but it doesn't work and has the same error.Could you please help me to check where the problems are? Really appreciated!
/*****************************CEcell abtained in above program*************************************/
c_face_loop(c,t,i)
{
cell_t c0,c1=-1;
Thread *t0,*t1=NULL;
c0=F_C0(f,t);
t0=F_C0_THREAD(f,t);
F_AREA(Af,f,t);
if (BOUNDARY_FACE_THREAD_P(t))
{
NV_D(vel, =,F_U(f,t),F_V(f,t),F_W(f,t));
flow_rate_1=NV_DOT(vel,Af);

source = C_UDSI(c,t,0)*CEcell*flow_rate_1/V;
dS[eqn] = CEcell*flow_rate_1/V;

}

else {
NV_D(vel,=,C_U(c0,t0),C_V(c0,t0),C_W(c0,t0));
flow_rate_1=NV_DOT(vel,Af);

source = C_UDSI(c,t,0)*CEcell*flow_rate_1/V;
dS[eqn] = CEcell*flow_rate_1/V;
}
}
return source;
}

Hello again,

your code is still missing the part where you retrieve the face-id (f) and face-thread (ft) for which you want to get some information.
Use within your c_face_loop
f = C_FACE(c,t,i);
tf = C_FACE_THREAD(c,t,i);

and with that
F_AREA(Af,f,tf), F_U(f,tf) ... should work properly.

cheers

When i tried for initializing ,it is showing the below mentioned error.

Plz help me sir
