Hi,
I'm trying to implement zeta-F turbulence model by Popovac in openfoam ver. 2.0.0.
After compiling a run time selectable library I'm trying to use it in a tutorial (incompressible/pisofoam/ras/cavity) but when I run the executable this error message appear:

Floating point exception


I've no experience in c++ programming but I think the initial/boundary conditions are not correctly set: in "0" directory I copy the k file contents in f and zeta file and then change the dimensionset (1/dimTime for f and dimless for zeta).
Where is the error?

I am not able to compile your code without errors. Which version of OpenFOAM are you using?

How do you initialize the other fields? I can imagine that the floating point exception is caused by a division by zero somewhere.

Thanks for reply,
the other fields are initialized in the same manner as the tutorial do ("0" directory in the tutorial directory).
For compiling the library I use the command "wmake libso" from within the zetaF directory in $PROJECT_USER_DIR environment and no error appear. My version is 2.0.0.

I follow the development of the kEpsilon turbulence model as implemented in version 2.0.0 and modify it. If I try to compile my preceding version of zetaF turbulence model set up for openfoam 1.7.1 does not work in release 2.0.0.
I think this is caused by the different implementation of the RASModel base class from 1.7.1 to 2.0.0.

So it's obvious that your 2.0 version does not compile in my 1.7
But do I understand correctly that it did work with 1.7?

I understand you initialize with the 0 folder, but with what values?

In version 1.7 I compile the code... now I have to test it...right.. but... before do it... openCFD release the 2.0 version! So I change the code to fit into the new version. No tests has been made on this implementation of the turbulence model.
You find "0" case directory below.

I find the division by zero error. It's in zetaF.C in the function Tau() (line 52).
The velocity tensor at the denominator has all the components set to 0 because of the initial conditions. There are many other errors I'm trying to resolve.

Maybe you can start from a converged k-epsilon solution, so that you won't encounter problems with these kind of issues. An alternative is to add VSMALL or something like that to the denominator.

Thanks, it works now. I add fMin_ to the denominator (the same dimensionset is needed in the LHS and RHS of + operator), that is the lower limit value for volScalarField f_.
But I don't understand: the denominator in evaluating the time scale ( Tau() ) is the same that appear in the length scale ( L() ) but only in Tau() function the floating point exception is present.
Why?

Maybe because you call Tau() before L()?

By the way, be sure to check the correct implementatation for |S|, I think Hanjalic defines it as (2*S_ij*S_ij)^(1/2)

No, excluding the min part of Tau() function from the code, recompiling and running the case the floating point exception is not present.

I write |S| in openfoam as mag(symm(fvc::grad(U_))). Is it correct?

First thing: I have no idea.

Second, in your case.
|S|=\left(S_{ij} S_{ij}\right)^{1/2}
But I think in the zeta-f model, it should be defined as

|S|=\left(2 S_{ij} S_{ij}\right)^{1/2}

I'm trying to resolve channel flow or backward facing step to validate the model but I've no ideas on how to apply boundary conditions (inlet, outlet and wall) for zeta and f scalar variables.
Suggestions or references to the matter?
Thanks

I think Hanjalic proposes a transformation on f which reduces it's boundary condion to f=0. Did you try that?

I understand that transformation is valid only for the wall BC.
But for inlet and outlet?
I'm also unable to manage zeta BCs.
