Compiled UDF error
 

I'm writing a UDF to change the turbulent viscosity through a DEFINE_ADJUST macro.


DEFINE_ADJUST(turb_adjust, domain)
{
Thread *t;
cell_t c;
thread_loop_c (t, domain)
if (FLUID_THREAD_P(t))
{
begin_c_loop(c,t)
{
C_MU_T(c,t) = C_R(c,t)*C_MU*f_mu(c,t)*SQR(C_UDSI(c,t,TKE))/C_UDSI(c,t,TDR); /* Line 124 */
}
end_c_loop(c,t)
}
}


During compilation I get the following error:

LowReKE.c: In function `turb_adjust':
LowReKE.c:124: warning: use of conditional expressions as lvalues is deprecated
LowReKE.c:124: error: invalid lvalue in assignment
LowReKE.c:124: warning: use of cast expressions as lvalues is deprecated
make[3]: *** [LowReKE.o] Error 1

I tried to change line 124 to

C_MU_T(c,t) = 1.;

just to do a test, but the error massege is the same.
What does it mean? How can I change the turbulent viscosity in my domain in a UDF?

Best regards,

Re: Compiled UDF error
 

I'm not sure what's wrong with your UDF, but firstly you can't separate the "thread_loop "and "{ " by the if(). When I use the FLUID_THREAD_P, some error occurred. I don't know why. (error : thread storage not implement)

Goodluck

Re: Compiled UDF error
 

Thank you for your answer, Erica.
I tried to change the code as follows:


DEFINE_ADJUST(turb_adjust, domain)
{
Thread *t;
cell_t c;
/* Set the turbulent viscosity */
thread_loop_c (t, domain)
{
begin_c_loop(c,t)
{
C_MU_T(c,t) = C_R(c,t)*C_MU*f_mu(c,t)*SQR(C_UDSI(c,t,TKE))/C_UDSI(c,t,TDR);
}
end_c_loop(c,t)
}
}


but the error is still there.
Looking in the UDF manual I saw the specific macro DEFINE_TURBULENT_VISCOSITY, but I'm not sure if it will work because I'm going to implement a new turbulence model, which will be solved instead of the FLUENT standard k-eps model, whose equation will be disabled in the Control -> Solution panel.

if you want I can try it on my computer cut and paste the code here. Y

Re: Compiled UDF error
 

The DEFINE_TURBULENT_VISCOSITY should work with user defined scalars.

Thank you. I tried with DEFINE_TURBULENT_VISCOSITY and it worked nice.
