Hi everybody,

I start a new thread on this specific solver to know if anyone (except the developers) already tried it.
Indeed, like I said in another thread, I tried to make a case directory (like the ones in tutorials) for this solver, but it looks like I don't put the files in their correct location. My case is a deformable cylinder in a channel.
Could anyone tell me the arrengement of files and directories to solve such a problem?

I'll appreciate any help

Regards,

Vincent

I'm using Ansys/CFX for FSI, am new to OpenFOAM. Cannot find this FSI solver. Where can I get it and is there some kind of documentation on it? I'm trying to solve deformation-induced laminar scalar transport.
Thanks,
Jorn

The solver is described in slides from the MIT CFD Conference on FSI last year (Tukovic, Jasak:

FSI in OpenFOAM

and you can find a version of the solver in the SVN: icoFsiFoam

Here's a little animation to cheer you up. There are others in http://powerlab.fsb.hr/ped/kturbo/Op.../bentPipeFine/ directory.

Enjoy,

Hrv

Thanks Hrv,

I have recently downloaded the 1.4.1 version of OpenFOAM and am running it on Ubuntu.

I retrieved the icoFsiFoam solver from the repository. Should I now use wmake to compile the solver?

If I do that I get the following errors:

Do I need to get additional files to make icoFsiFoam work? As you can tell I'm quite new to this stuff; I'd appreciate any help!
BTW the movies look awesome, that is exactly what I need for my project.

Cheers,
Jorn

I am also getting the same errors when I tried to install icoFsiFoam. I am using OpenFoam-1.5 version.
Also, I couldn't find the above files in $FORM_SRC directory.

Hi Santhosh,

The easiest way to use icoFsiFoam (without modifying any code) is to install the whole OF 1.4.1-dev package from:
http://openfoam-extend.wiki.sourceforge.net/

If you want to use OF 1.5, you have 2 choices:

1. You remove the "tet-fem" mesh motion components from icoFsiFoam and replace them with mesh motion stuff already included in OF 1.5.

or

2. You install the "tet-fem" mesh motion components from openFoam-extend in OF 1.5.

Good luck,

Mathieu

[santoo]

Thanks in bunch Mathieu.

[velan]

Hi Mathieu,

Can you please tell me how to remove or install tet-fem ( I am new to C++ ) or replace with mesh motion stuff. I try to compile icoFsiFoam in openfoam 1.5 and 1.5-dev. I got the same error message.

Hi Velan,

icoFsiFoam should compile properly in OF-1.5-dev, in fact, it compiles on my installation. I can't say much more about this since I am still working on OF-1.4.1-dev (looks like I am not ready to switch yet; I want to run some validation tests before to switch). I guess installing tet-fem components in OF-1.5 would be a tedious experience if you are new to C++...

Did your OF-1.5-dev installation compiled perfectly (this means without any error message)?

Mathieu

[velan]

Hi Mathieu

No, OF-1.5-dev installation gave error (which posted above). So i downloaded the icoFsiFoam.tar.gz file and try to compile it in OF-1.5, but that too giving error.

[pellrk03]

Hi velan,
I've got the same problem as you and the same error. Using OpenFOAM 1.5 as well. Did you find a solution to run icoFsiFoam?

Thanks Hannes Fugmann

[velan]

Hi Hannes,

I found, the problem was in gcc while installing openfoam-1.5-dev version. I downloaded the source file of 1.5-dev version and Thirdparty tar files. After untar those files, i found gcc-4.3.1 directory was missing in Thirdparty directory. First i couldnt notice about it, so by default it used system gcc while installation. So i got those errors. Then i noticed and took the gcc-4.3.1 directory from openfoam-1.5 version and compiled. It does perfectly . Now i am working on openfoam-1.5-dev version and also icoFsiFoam is working well.
You can check which gcc and change it.
Hope this helps you.

hi everyday

Is there a solution to run icoFsfoam on openfoam-1.6?

Thanks in advance.

[hamcer]

Hi everyday,

can somebody tell me what is th wrong in this test example?
you can downloading my file from:
http://www.mediafire.com/myfiles.php
it seems that there are conflict between of-dev and of-1.6, this is the error when I run the test with OF-1.6.

thank you in advance

Nacer.

[hamcer]

hello foamers,

I'm doing a test case using icoFsifoam, but instead of using fluid / solid I use fluid / fluid. the aim is to follow the interface between water and air emerging from an injector, I change the Young's modulus by decreasing, but the calculation sends an error message "floting point error" .
can we simulate solid to a fluid by modifying the mecanical properties, or we must make radiacales modifications?
any idea will be welcome
