Hi all,

I am using OF for two years now and wanna get deeper into the code and wanna make a new solver using an old one and transform the steady equations into the time dependent equations.

Okay my problem for now is, that I am not sure if I interpret the *Eqn.H files correct. I read a few threats here in the forum which helped me a lot but now I need your help.
I added an attachment with my problem. There you can see my solving equations. I just wanna have a look at the differential equations but I think that I transformed them not right, or?

Further more I do not know what "Sp" means.

Thx in advance.

Regards Tobi

akidess will become famous soon enough
fvm::Sp denotes an implicit source term. You can ignore it when translating code into equations, it's purely related to numerics.

suppose you want to solve this equation

dU/dt = A + BU

implemented like
fvm:ddt(U) == A + B*U

using euler scheme,
this results in

U^n - U^{n-1} = dt*A + dt*B*U^{n-1}
=>
U^n = dt*A + (dt*B + 1)*U_{n-1}

implemented like this
fvm::ddt(U) == A + fvm::Sp(B, U)

this results in
U^n - U^{n-1} = dt*A + dt*B*U^n
=>
(1 - dt*B)*U^n = dt*A + U^{n-1}

so the first implementation is explicit treatment of the B*U term, while the other is implicit treatment.
Hope this makes it clearer

This also makes it possible to do some 'cheating' of large explicit source-terms by linearizing them

again...
dU/dt = A + B*U = A*1 + B*U + A*(U/U) + B*U

which can be implemented like
fvm::ddt(U) = fvm:Sp(A/U, U) + B*U

which in turn is treated numerically like
U^{n} - U ^{n-1} = dt*(A*U^n / U^{n-1} + B*U^{n-1})
so you see now that A is no longer multiplied by 1, but by something else, which for the
converged solution hopefully is 1 and have a stabilizing effect on the solver.
sylvester and Tobi like this.

Hi nicklas,

thanks for your good explanation!
I used your statement and generated a file (attachment). can you have a look at the file?

I am interessted in the last line I added. Thats my understanding of your post.


The second file is a transformation from openfoam equation code into scalar equation. Is that correct? Its a while ago that I used grad, div and laplacian.

thx in advance

Hi all,

I just want to comment, that the "Schemes.pdf" file is incorrect.

Sorry for bumping into this old thread. I am a beginner in CFD and OpenFoam and i am trying to implement mixture fraction and mixture fraction variance equations.

Can anyone help me understand why we need fvc apart from the fact that it is an explicit equation? I have seen that for calculating gradient or with source terms (Sp), it is always accompanied with fvc. Why is it so?

Also what is happening when the Sp term is introduced.

Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I am trying to implement mixture fraction and mixture fraction variance conserved transport equations to simulate a simple propane non reacting jet flame. The simulation is well and running with slight amount of deviations from experimental data while using small value of grading in the x and y directions (8 and 8 resp). The problem i am facing is that with higher values of grading (12 in x-direction and 15 in y-direction), even though the velocity, temperature and all profiles are evolving, the mixture fraction and mixture fraction variance variables are having very low values of the order of 10^-70 (for mixture fraction). What might be the possible causes of the error. Kindly help me. I am a beginner.

Code

fvScalarMatrix mifEqn
(
fvm::ddt(rho, mif)
+ fvm::div(phi, mif)
- fvm::laplacian(turbulence->mut()/0.7, mif)
);
mifEqn.relax();
mifEqn.solve();

fvScalarMatrix mifvarEqn
(
fvm::ddt(rho, mifvar)
+ fvm::div(phi, mifvar)
- fvm::laplacian(turbulence->mut()/0.7, mifvar)
- 2.86*turbulence->mut()*magSqr(fvc::grad(mif))
+ 2*rho*(turbulence->epsilon()/(turbulence->k()+k_small))*mifvar
);
mifvarEqn.relax();
mifvarEqn.solve(mesh.solver("mifvar"));

Hi, check out my repository of the flamelet model. There you see how it has to be implemented.
