Hi

For that purpose I recommend that you look into funkySetField. At the present it is not ready for the 1.5 version, thus you need to apply it in 1.4.1.

If you by a cylinder mean a circle in 2D, then you could turn off gravity and let viscosity do the job.

Best regards,

Hi
Thanks for the reply. If I don't want to use 1.4.1, I just installed 1.5 and just got it working http://www.cfd-online.com/OpenFOAM_D...part/happy.gif

Instead of going back is it possible to read the location of a cell at position ( x,y,z )and "update" the value of gamma from 0 to 1. I found after reading around in the discussion "mesh.findCell(x,y,z)" that would give me the ID of the cell, how do I use that cell location update its value.( I guess I can do write some primitive code that makes a cylinder of fluid).
Best regard and have a good weekend

Hi D Well, then you would p
 

Hi D

Well, then you would probably be able to do something like this:

gamma[mesh.findCell(x,y,z)] = 1;

assumed that (x,y,z) is with in the cylinder.

But say that the cylinder is placed along the z-axis, then wouldn't something like this do the trick!?!

scalar xC(0.0), yC(0.0); // Center values of for the cross section.

forAll(gamma,gI)
{
if (sqr(mesh.C()[gI].component(0) - xC) + sqr(mesh.C()[gI].component(1) - yC) <= sqr(radius))
{
gamma[gI] = 1;
}
}

Simply put this before the time loop and initialize gamma to zero in /0/gamma. This is primitive but it would work and basicly do the same as funkySetField.

Thanks very much Niels..hope you had a good week
That works wonderfully !

Hi, dear Nammari, how about your progress on making a cylinder fluid? I am interested in this point. Thanks in advance.

best regards,
Chiven

It has been ages
 

Chiven,
It worked well and I have managed to change it to make the problem a little more intresting, now I am trying to create "empty" tanks using snappyhexmesh, but not succsesful at all

Thanks, Bernard, for the nice and promising utility.

Dear Bernard and All,

I downloaded the swak4Foam package, tried to follow your instructions - additionally installed flex. Seems it was built without errors.

But I still cannot get - should one use funkySetFields instead of setFields or after?

I just placed your demo funkySetFields Dictionary in my case/system directory and run the funkySetFields utility. It returned me the error:

FOAM FATAL ERROR:
funkySetFields: time/latestTime option is required

What does that mean?

Thanks in advance for your advice,
Regards,
Gallyam

Hi Gallyam,

This means that funkySetFields wants to know where to write the new fields, i.e. in which time directory. If you just want to plug it into your 0 directory, use
Depends on what you want to do. If you just need funkySetFields to set a field according to an algorithm, e.g. as fuction of some coordinate, then funkySetFields is enough.

Hello, Gijsbert!

Thanks a lot for your reply!

Now it works.

Gallyam

I want to create a sphere using funkysetfields, but I'm not having any success. Could anyone show me the proper code to accomplish my goal?

funkySetFields -create -field test -time 0 -expression "mag(pos()-vector(1,0,0))<2 ? 1 : 0"

.... for instance

Thank you for your help, sorry it took so long for me to respond. Could you better help me understand the vector component of that expression? I'm not certain what purpose the vector(1,0,0) serves.

The purpose is to show how to do it in a general way (with a center of the sphere that is not the origin of the coordinate system). WHERE the center is in this concrete example is left as an exercise to the reader.

Hi Sebastian,

You can do that easily with setFields like

18 defaultFieldValues
19 (
20 volScalarFieldValue alpha1 0
21 );
22
23 regions
24 (
25 sphereToCell
26 {
27 centre (0.05 0.1 0.5);
28 radius 0.01;
29 fieldValues
30 (
31 volScalarFieldValue alpha1 1
32 );
33 }
34 );

cheers,

Duong

rising bubble
 

Hi Jaswi and Sebastian, i followed your posts about using funkysetfield for rising bubble case, may i ask for Jaswi code?
i want to simulate rising bubble and investigate terminal velocity like u (Sebastain). i am confuse with using setfield too.

thanks in advance

Can you send me the input files and the grid files shown in that picture? My email address:shenchao.sx@gmail.com
Thank you!

Dear shchao,

How is going with your bubble rising from the water. I am currently working on the same thing, however, I am not able to figure out how to design a 3D bubble from the above picture given. Just wondering does someone has sent you the code for that? I have figured out the 2D model but not the 3D one.

If you have the code, do you think you can send me a copy for that? my email address is liguifan@gmail.com
Appreciated!

Any tutorial on this?
This is too crude .. just started openFoam 3 days ago
what to after a cad model shape and how does it get its reference point...
Thanks

could you send me the code to create a sphere by funkysetfiled?

Thank you so much!
