Hi Niel,
while ago I accomplished to run waveDyMFoam with no error. But now I can't wmake it again that I don't know why! Or maybe I was wrong that I thought it was running well!At first, It seems I have overwrited the option file. But after changing the option to the correct one it gives me the error below. (WaveFoam is working and its command is known in the terminal.)

The error is:

You must have updated the svn. Approximately 5 month ago, I changed the file structure of waves2Foam. The errors you experience are related to this update.

Consider the Make/options-file in waveFoam, and you should be able to reproduce it for waveDyMFoam.

Kind regards,

Niels

[mary mor]

Thanks Niel
Sorry but I didn't underestand you. Am I using the wrong version of wave2Foam?
What should I do now?

Regards

[ngj]

The recent compilation errors are because you have updated your waves2Foam. As of revision 1996 from the 7th of June 2013 (see the Wiki), the compilation system and the file structure was changed. This change do cause the errors you experience.

You can look into the way the Make/options file is for waveFoam compared to the one you have for waveDyMFoam and adjust the latter accordingly.

I will generally recommend to stay as up to date as possible with the source code, so the more recent, the better.

Kind regards

Niels

[mary mor]

Hmm thanks
Somehow I'm getting now.
How can I delete the compiled files and install the toolbox from the source on wiki again?

[ngj]

Hi Maryam,

Performing the following two steps should suffice:

svn update
./Allwmake

However, if your original code are from the period, where the SVN-repository was closed, you will need to move the current waves2Foam to a backup-location, make a clean check-out as described on the Wiki, and subsequently perform the compilation.

If you want to make sure that you have a fresh start, then the library is placed here:

cd $FOAM_USER_LIBBIN

and the solvers and utilities are placed here:

cd $FOAM_USER_APPBIN

Kind regards,

Niels

Hello, I am working trough the validation of the secondStokes, so far I am getting good results, but I believe that the mesh needs to be improved, right now I am working with a 0.005 element size for both, x and y, with a tank size of 20m and a relaxation zone of 5m for both the inlet and the outlet, so here is my question: Does someone made an analysis about the recommended length for both the inlet and outlet relaxation zone? I am asking this because at my references they recommend to have an inlet relaxation zone equals to 1L (wave length) and an outlet relaxation zone equal to 3L, I am working with rectangular shapes, I would like to see some opinions, if no one knows I will run several testes by my own (thing that I do not want to do because each simulation is taking around 4-6 hours)

Here is an image of the results that I am getting for a 0.01 cell size in x and y direction, looks pretty good but still you can see that there is a small difference at the amplitude, the blue one is the theoretical wave the orange one is the results that I got from the simulation

[Maralady]

I forgot to say that my references did not work with waveFoam and that is why I am asking

[mary mor]

Hi Niel,
Yes my wave2Foam is from the time that svn was down. After running this waveFoam, I got a file from my friend that was from the updated file in wiki. I might ./Allwmake this file again after mine! Maybe this had made some problems, but waveFoam was running correctly.
As you told me at first I tried to modify the option file like the one in waveFoam, but again with no progress. Not successful to build waveDyMFoam.o
Then I tried to svn update in the wave2Foam folder but it said .skipped
After that I removed the libraries and binary files as you mentioned in the directory. I got the source from wiki and finally this the last version of my errors after ./Allwmake :|

I don't have a utility folder in application folder. Should I have one?!

I'm amazed every little thing I do in OpenFoam I face with multiple errors!
Sorry for the whole incontinence I've made.
Thanks in advanced.

Good morning Maryam,

Your latest issue has been addressed multiple of times in this thread already.

Kind regards,

Niels

Hi Niels,
I am trying to calculate wave loads on offshore structures (at first a simple cylinder).
Unfortunately, I currently have problems with the validation of the parameters.
The maximum and minimum values for the velocity Ux that occur on the surface of the waves are too high. This results in incorrect values for the forces.
However the velocities below the water surface are realistic (if the top of the Monopile is below the water surface, the forces are realistic too).


Is it possible that an interaction between the air and water is taking place?
Or is simply the mesh not fine enough?


I am using OF 2.2.1 and work with Stokes 5th.

Dear Neils,

I think I found a mistake at the math of the stokesSecond, not quite sure 3am here and I am pretty tired, anyway please check this (or anyone else) when you have time:

H_/2.0*Foam::cos(arg) // First order contribution.
// Second order contribution.
+ (1.0/16.0)*K_*sqr(H_)
*(
3.0/Foam:ow(Foam::tanh(K_*h_),3.0)
- 1.0/Foam::tanh(K_*h_)
)
*Foam::cos(2.0*arg)
)*factor(time) // Hot-starting.
+ seaLevel_; // Adding sea level.

I think that the minus sign should be a plus sign, anyway maybe I am missing something but my math seems correct, it would be nice if someone can check this to corroborate.

Thanks

UPDATED

Seems to be no difference at all with the sign

Hi,

I'm a new user of OpenFOAM. I started to be familiar with OF following the user-guide and tutorials of OpenFoam. Now I want to use waves2Foam but i can not run any of its tutorials. I don't know if the problem comes from installation or ... ? (I am using Linux mint 14 and OF211 in my own computer and ubuntu 10.10 and OF171 in my work place)
can anyone help me please?
thanks in advance.

Behrang

[ngj]

@Lukas:
A quick look at your test case shows that you are using way too few computational cells. 1920 cells for a three dimensional case will never be enough. The number of cells should probably be a couple of orders larger.

Secondly, you are using linear theory for your parameters even though you apply Stokes fifth order theory.

@Behrang: To except any help please conform to the suggestions in this thread: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...-get-help.html

Kind regards,

Niels

[Behrang]

Hi Niels,

Thanks for your suggestion, actually I red all the posts in this forum and also the wiki page but I cannot run any of tutorials!
as I mentioned I checked the suggestion to other new users of OF and waves2Foam but they did not work for me.
if possible please guide me to check what is the problem?
as I told in previous post I dont know if the installation is correct or not?!
Thank you!

Behrang

Hi Behrang,

Since you have read through this thread, and considering the range of issue discussed and solved in the above post, your problem(s) must be quite special, why you not nearly have presented us with enough information to come up with a solution.

Output from the command line and confirmation that waves2Foam is correctly compiled are typically a good starting point.

Kind regards,

Niels

[Luke92]

Hi Niels,

thank you for your effort but what do you mean with

If I determine the parameters with setWaveProperties I get the same values.

In addition, I work with ~2kk Cells (after refinement) in this case. My minimum mesh size varies between 0.2 m 0.5m in each direction.
Is this still not fine enough?


Thanks in advance
Lukas

[ngj]

Hi Lukas,

I am sorry with respect to Stokes Fifth, I am just used to work in shallow waters, where the two theories deviate, but your water depth is 30 m.

With respect to the number of cells, then 2.000.000 seems like a more reasonable number, i.e. a lot more than the mesh you uploaded. I have not really worked with impact on cylinders myself, and since my points above are void, I hope that some one else can help you?

Kind regards,

Niels

Hi Niels,

I am using OF211 in Linux mint14. I follow the instruction of wiki to install waves2Foam ( sudo apt-get install libgsl0-dev
svn co http://svn.code.sf.net/p/openfoam-ex...her/waves2Foam
)
now I have waves2Foam in home/behrang , then i execute allwmake with (./Allwmake) and I have same error as maryam has:
