How to add this term to openfoam solver

Hello friends,

how can i add the right hand side equation to icoFoam???

If this is the NS diffusion term its already there.

rapierrz · February 27, 2015, 01:16

yes.This is diffusion term but usually in solvers there is only

div(grad(U)) and i want to know how to write

div(grad(U)+grad(U).tanspose)

I write div(nu,symm(fvc::grad(U))) and Error was :

no matching function for call to ‘div(Foam::volScalarField&...

I suppose you are using non constant viscosity so:

Code:

fvc::grad(mu)&fvc::grad(U)+fvc::laplacian(mu,U)

You should change fvc for fvm if you want to use a more implicit calculation in the momentumPredictor.

I recommend yo to take a look at the solver: nonNewtonianIcoFoam

thank you ssss,

my problem is that how i can define div(mu,grad(U).transpose)

ssss · February 27, 2015, 05:23

Code:

fvc::grad(U).T()

rapierrz · February 27, 2015, 05:35

When i use of fvc::grad(U).T() error is :

has no member named ‘T’

ssss · February 27, 2015, 05:37

Then try:

Code:

T(fvc::grad(U))

rapierrz · February 27, 2015, 05:47

it does not work

my openfoam version is 2.2.1

ssss · February 27, 2015, 08:13

Well then last chance:

Code:

fvc::grad(U)().T()

It compiles for me

Thank you very much ssss

ut's working correctly.

you was great help for me.
