interDyMFoam: 0 split points out of a possible 0

Elham · October 16, 2015, 00:24

Hi,

I run interDyMFoam in parallel and the speed of the simulation is too low. I have got the following commands in Terminal:

Selected 0 split points out of a possible 0.
MULES: Solving for alpha.water
MULES: Solving for alpha.water
MULES: Solving for alpha.water
Phase-1 volume fraction = 2.111971e-05 Min(alpha1) = -9.115508e-11 Max(alpha1) = 0.9973917
GAMG: Solving for p_rgh, Initial residual = 0.1724118, Final residual = 0.0001625687, No Iterations 14
time step continuity errors : sum local = 8.833984e-08, global = -9.787229e-13, cumulative = -6.119188e-09
GAMG: Solving for p_rgh, Initial residual = 0.0005972664, Final residual = 9.553637e-07, No Iterations 152
time step continuity errors : sum local = 5.05861e-10, global = -3.284247e-14, cumulative = -6.119221e-09
ExecutionTime = 71870.98 s ClockTime = 72155 s

I am a bit suspicious about the sentence :"Selected 0 split points out of a possible 0."

Is there any comment for it?

Thanks

dont worry, it says no cell is selected for refinement

Hello Foamers

I am solving a static bubble problem as the interface is stationary I am getting the following oscillation of grid refinement in my problem.

Courant Number mean: 0.000412997 max: 0.00743201
Interface Courant Number mean: 0.00014211 max: 0.00743201
deltaT = 0.0075
Selected 8 cells for refinement out of 1640.
Refined from 1640 to 1696 cells.
Selected 0 split points out of a possible 96.
Execution time for Level Set Mesh Update = 0.01 s
Defining the group of the cells
Time = 0.9

PIMPLE: iteration 1
MULES: Solving for alpha.water
Phase-1 volume fraction = 0.121094 Min(alpha.water) = 6.04327e-97 Max(alpha.water) = 1

Courant Number mean: 0.00040352 max: 0.00737728
Interface Courant Number mean: 0.000140431 max: 0.00737728
deltaT = 0.0075
Selected 0 cells for refinement out of 1696.

Unrefined from 1696 to 1640 cells.
Execution time for Level Set Mesh Update = 0.01 s
Defining the group of the cells
Time = 0.9075

how can I resolve this issue ?
