Hi, I want to use a non-Newtonian viscosity model other than those predefined in the source directory; the modification can be done by changing the formulation in CrossPowerLaw.C.
The question here is: Do I need to compile the file after modification?
Do I have to copy it somewhere else (e.g. user directory) make the changes, create a "Make" folder compile it using wmake or something else can be done more straight forward?

[mhassani]

after making the changes, I create a make file in user directory trying to compile it several errors occurred; any idea what the problem can be? the error is:

make: *** [Make/linuxGccDPOpt/GenPowerLaw.o] Error 1

[mhassani]

the files in Make directory contains:
GenPowerLaw.C

EXE = $(FOAM_LIBBIN)/libViscosityMod
and in options:
EXE_INC = \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/transportModels/incompressible/lnInclude

EXE_LIBS = \
-ltransportModel
the problems are still unsolved!

[MartinB]

Hi Muhammad,

the "options" file must have the line
-I$(LIB_SRC)/finiteVolume/lnInclude \
as well.

My recommendation is: create your own viscosity model in the OpenFOAM's source directory... just make your new "GenPowerLaw" folder next to OpenFOAM's "powerLaw" folder. Edit "/opt/openfoam170/src/transportModels/incompressible/Make/files" by adding the line:
"viscosityModels/GenPowerLaw/GenPowerLaw.C"

Navigate in your shell to
"/opt/openfoam170/src/transportModels/incompressible/"
and call "wclean"
Then navigate to
"/opt/openfoam170/src/transportModels/"
and call "./Allwmake"

Hope it helps

Martin

Dear Martin, I want to create a folder in the viscosity model directory but it fails, I cannot create a folder? may you help me?

[MartinB]

Hi Ehsan,

you need write access to the directory where you want to create the new viscosity model. It is better to use your user directory instead of the OpenFOAM's source directory.

In this post you can find an example how to do it:
