1D-3D Boundary Condition Coupling

charles4allme · February 14, 2019, 12:28

Hi,

I have a 1D model that I developed using C++. I would like to couple the 1D model to OpenFOAM by doing this:
- Solve the 1D model to get the values for the variables i.e. velocity, pressure etc.
- Supply the values as a boundary condition for the 3D model in OpenFOAM.
- Solve the 3D model and supply the solved values to the 1D model.
This process is made to happen after every time step.
I wanted to know how I can go about the problem. Do I need to develop a new boundary condition or come up with a C++ script where I use functions to exchange the informations. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
OKorie

Have you seen this : https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM...hScalarField.H ? It is for temperature, but I bet you'd be able to get it to work for an arbitrary field.

Thanks. I will look into it and get back to you.
