Default Drag coefficient, DPM.

Hello,

I am trying to simulate a turbulent flow with the DPM but the drag coefficient is too low.

I have found that there is a correction called Magelli correction and it is possible to get it from fluent users as a UDF. I dont have access to fluent users so please somebody send it to me? it is in Fluent UDF Archive UDF52.

Thank you very much.

hello, i know you have been posting the same query many times here. i checked, & there is no Solution ID 52 ! this is what i get:

UDF for computing wall shear stress on user-selected walls(Solution ID=1459) UDF for accessing field variables on the nodes of a face thread(Solution ID=1413) UDF to export variable data into a file in ASCII format from the parallel version(Solution ID=1412) UDF to flag the cells at a boundary that have reversed flow (backflow)(Solution ID=1351) UDF for reading tabulated or experimental values of material properties into FLUENT(Solution ID=1338) UDF template for implementing a droplet breakup model with steady discrete phase model (DPM) tracking(Solution ID=1328) UDF to compute the integral of a variable along a line(Solution ID=1293) Using a UDF to generate a Step-by-Step particle tracking report file from a calculation running in batch mode(Solution ID=1263) How to print to the GUI or an output file from a UDF(Solution ID=1175) How to make contour plots of difference in pressures (or any other variable) in two data sets(Solution ID=416) How can my UDF write output files with the flow time as part of the file name?(Solution ID=1105) UDF to determine the amount of time fluid spends in high shear regions(Solution ID=1072) UDF to extract variables on surface created for postprocessing(Solution ID=1056) UDF to compute particle slip velocity(Solution ID=920) UDF to calculate and report the torque on a rotor shaft(Solution ID=917) UDF to obtain the mean diameter of particles at each cell in a spray simulation(Solution ID=830) UDF to model a moving porous medium(Solution ID=831) Compute fluid residence time(Solution ID=619) Compute fan pressure drop as a function of radius(Solution ID=508) Compute radiation heat transfer rate on an interior surface(Solution ID=669) Compute turbulent diffusion coefficient for a user-defined scalar(Solution ID=668) Access to values computed by a custom field function inside a UDF(Solution ID=512) Compute radial, axial and tangential velocity components inside a UDF(Solution ID=562) Compute Swirl Ratio(Solution ID=650) Reading and Interpolating source term from point data input file not aligned with the grid(Solution ID=625) Herschel-Bulkley viscosity with spatial dependence(Solution ID=585) Transient velocity profile imposed on a moving wall(Solution ID=616) Modeling forced diffusion in binary gas or liquid mixtures (single phase only)(Solution ID=672) Adjusting mass flow inlet boundary conditions to achieve a target thrust(Solution ID=718) UDF to dynamically change the timestep size during calculation(Solution ID=757) UDF to specify both spatial and temporal temperature profile on a wall zone(Solution ID=825) ---------------------- so please give the correct soltuion ID.

Thank you!

I have a technical note from Fluent TN253, "Solid-liquid Multiphase Flow Validation in Tall Stirred Vessels with Multiple Impeller Systems", where it is said:

This constant CD was then prescribed using a user-defined function (Fluent UDF Archive UDF52)

I don't know where to find it but if you could try I woud be very pleased. My project is stuck now!

Thank you again!

I need your mail adrees to link the file. You can also look it up on the internet just writing in google:

Thank you again for your interest!

Please note these points when using this UDF :

The original purpose of this UDF was to improve the modeling of solids suspensions in stirred vessels. The UDF has two parts:

(1) It allows the user to fix the overall volume fraction of a secondary phase in a domain. This allows the user then to run Eulerian multiphase calculations for batch stirred tanks in steady state with MRF, instead of having to run them transient. This cuts CPU time dramatically. (2) It allows the user to specify either a constant value for the drag coefficient or use the Pinelli drag law. This helps fine tune the results for given systems. These two components to the UDF can be used independently. The UDF comes with a SCHEME file granular.scm which is required for the UDF to function. The UDF is compiled.

have a nice weekend !

Hi! sorry again, but i am having some problems with the UDF, I am using it for discrete phase model so i changed some parameters. I can interpret it without problems but when i try to display the particles track i get the next error:

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

The UDF is as follows:

#include "udf.h"

#include "mem.h"

DEFINE_DPM_DRAG(particle_drag_force,Re,p)

{

cell_t c;

Thread *t;

real drag_force;

double cd,epsilon,lkolm,pinelli;

epsilon = C_D(c, t);

if (Re > 1000)

{

cd=0.44;

}

else

{cd=24*(1+0.15*pow(Re,0.687))/Re;

}

lkolm = pow(0.001003/998.2,3);

lkolm = pow(lkolm/epsilon,0.25);

pinelli = 16.0*lkolm/0.000421-1.0;

pinelli = (exp(pinelli)-exp(-pinelli))/(exp(pinelli)+exp(-pinelli)); /* calculate TANH */

pinelli = 0.4*pinelli+0.6;

cd=cd/pow(pinelli,2.0);

drag_force = 18*cd*Re/24 ;

return (drag_force);

}

I realized that when i change: epsilon = C_D(c, t); by: epsilon = 10000 or any constant value.

Everything goes right.

I don't know if you can help me? But thanks anyway.

I need to define the kolmogorov microscale for every cell in order to calculate the drag coefficient for every cell(every velocity), and to calculate the kolmogorov microscale i need the turbulent disipation rate (epsilon), so I try to use C_D(c,t) to get this value.

hi, sir
as i know, ε is the average rate of energy dissipation per unit mass. pls look for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov_microscales

Hello guys
i need urgent help. actually i'm in need to this scheme and udf file for my solid-liquid simulation. i just copied and pasted them separately in a notepad as text.but when i launch FLUENT i received this message for scheme file:
unbound variable
Error Object: /*
i deleted /* in scm file but it didn't work. i still receive the same problem with another Error object for instance a name of variables.
i'm really stuck. i'll be very appreciate if you give me some comments.
appreciate in advance
