Hallo World.

I'm trying to place a spherical bubble into my mesh.
I thought about doing this with setting the parameter gamma with setFields.

But I just know the command boxToCell and a bubble isn't really like a box ..

Any ideas?

Look on the message-board or the Wiki for a thing called funkySetFields. I think there is even an example how to set a sphere with it somewhere

Hi, Sebastian,

you can do that with such steps:

1) Create spherical surface (for example, with Netgen)
2) Export this surface to stl-formal
3) use option surface surfaceToCell (like in cellSetDict)
4) run foamToVTK . . -cellSet <your_cell_set_name>
5) preview <your_cell_set_name> in paraview
6) Enjoy!

Hi Sebastian

As far as I understand you are using interFoam and you want to initialize the gamma field with a spherical bubble.

If that is the case then funkySetFields is the best choice as it allows you to do that in a very simple way.

Let me know if you still trying to do that as I can send you the code (courtesy Bernhard) which compiles with the 1.4.1 version.

Send it to NOSPAM.sebastian.gatzka@stud.tu-darmstadt.de

(without the NOSPAM.) :-)

Thanks a lot ...

What is your setup in the picture used for?
I would like to simulate a rising bubble to investigate it's terminal velocity.

Hi Sebastian

This is just a trial setup to see how one can initialize the bubble and use interFoam to simulate bubble rising. it lacks the proper physics setup

It would be nice if you could share your experience one you have simulated the rising bubble up to its terminal velocity.

I send you the code right now.

Let me know if it won't compile or some other help required to initialize the bubble.

It is not everything because it's very long.
I don't know what's the problem 'cause I made the same things on another computer and everything worked fine.
Maybe someone could help me.
Thank you.

You mean you're using the pre-generated files (./insertGenerated) and you'Re getting the sources from the SVN? Obviously I forgot to update the generated stuff after the last batch of changes. I updated this in the SVN

Hi, Carlo...
I have a method. Of course, this may be tough or already been implemented in other executables. I have used this method in one my test cases. This works fine. Also i miss placed that test case, some where. Try this method and its cool. At the end you will feel like you have programmed something useful.

I am sure that you have used the executable, "setShock" which is being employed in sonicFoam. Just extend it a little bit. Just get the value of the center of the sphere and radius as input. Then add the lines such that it satisfies the sphere equation when considered at that point, which is (x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 + (z-c)^2 = r^2. Where a,b,c and r obviously the inputs given. Check the condition, if the cell center you are considering is greater than 'radius' given or not.... End of story.

Just give it a try, instead of relying on some code, which you cant understand... http://www.cfd-online.com/OpenFOAM_D...part/happy.gif

Hi,

I was wondering if you could help, I'm a "newbie" to OpenFoam I have playing with it a little and would like to setup a case in which i have a circular volume of fluid and "drop" it (at the moment i am using interFoam). I managed use Setfields to create a "square" volume of fluid. How can I use Setfields to create a cylinder of fluid? or is there something else ?
Hope to hear from you soon
Ciao
