I read the solver in:
(applications\solvers\multiphase\interFoam\).

But I can find the solve function for 'UEqn' matrix, which is defined as:
fvVectorMatrix UEqn
(
fvm::ddt(rho, U)
+ fvm::div(rhoPhi, U)
- fvm::laplacian(muf, U)
- (fvc::grad(U) & fvc::grad(muf))
);

What is the matter?

In the interface capturing cod
 
In the interface capturing codes the momentum equation is not solved using an implicit solver in a predictor step as in other codes, it is solved as part of the PISO corrector sequence only:

U = UEqn.H()/A;

and

U += fvc::reconstruct(phi - phiU);
U.correctBoundaryConditions();

It would be possible to include a prector step as well but experience has shown that it does not improve convergence.

Sorry for my ignorance, but in icoFoam how is the 'solve' below a predictor if it's solution, U, is immediately overwritten by the U = UEqn.H()/A; statement?
...
fvVectorMatrix UEqn
(
fvm::ddt(U)
+ fvm::div(phi, U)
- fvm::laplacian(nu, U)
);

solve(UEqn == -fvc::grad(p));

// --- PISO loop

for (int corr=0; corr<nCorr; corr++)
{
volScalarField A = UEqn.A();

U = UEqn.H()/A;
...

Not so stupid: UEqn.H() uses t
 
Not so stupid: UEqn.H() uses the current value of U to evaluate itself and that's where the predicted value gets into the game.

Hey I have always had a curiosity what is the the A and H quantities?

A seems to be a per second quantity, then H is a m/s quantity that takes the velocity feild.

There is a lot of H/A wich would be acceleration. Is this used in extrapolating n+1 values or something? Just curious.

Thanks Mike

Basically A is the diagonal of thge matrix and H is the rest of the matrix multiplied by the field. Thus H/A is a simple point-Jacobi solution for the field.

Thanks Hrv.

Michael, an excellent reference for your question and a lot of Foam related topics is Hrv's thesis at http://www.h.jasak.dial.pipex.com/

Thanks guys

I have really been enjoying this code. I am trying to understand it to the fine details. It is quite facinating. I appreciate all your patience. Hopefully eventually I can get to an understanding where I can contribute. In the mean time I am still learning.

Take Care

Hi, I also have a question.
 
Hi,

I also have a question. In icoFoam what is this line for?

fvScalarMatrix::reference pRef = pEqn.setReference(pRefCell, RefValue);

billy August 4, 2005 17:11
Never mind. I already found it
 
Never mind. I already found it in a previous discussion.
I believe it resets the pressure at the outlet to zero or to another predefined value, right?

henry August 4, 2005 17:22
No, it sets the value in the c
 
No, it sets the value in the cell pRefCell to be pRefValue for cases that do not have a fixedValue pressure boundary condition.

Hello, Im looking throu the hr
 
Hello, Im looking throu the hrv thesis for more information concerning the jacobi method on A and H matrixes. Its seems as A has both diagonal and off diagonal elements but I thought that A needed to be purely diagonal for the jacobi method.

question:
Is A diagonal or doesn't it need to be diagonal for jacobi method to work?

Hi everybody
I defined variable BB(scalarField BB ;)in new.H that included in icoFoam.c.
But when i change it to(volScalarField BB ;) i get some errors.
What is the problem and How i can solve it?

Sorry for disturbing you.
Have a nice weekend
