Hello,

i want to model a turbulent mixing process in a bend, using the buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam;

i want to use alphatWallFunction in alphat file for the wall, but there is a problem that states:


Reading field alphat

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:

I tried choosing zeroGradient and alphatJayatillekeWallFunction;
this is the error message for both cases;

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Different dimensions for =
dimensions : [1 -1 -1 0 0 0 0] = [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0]

(it means that the alphat and kappat are of the same dimensions)!?!

thanks for any help,
Regards

Greetings to all!

More details are needed in order to diagnose the problem. Here are a few questions that might help isolate the problem:
  1. Which OpenFOAM version is being used?
  2. The case you are trying to run, for which OpenFOAM version was it designed to work with?
  3. Do you know based on which tutorial the case is derived from?
  4. Which solver are you trying to use?
Best regards,
Bruno

Dear Bruno

Kindly find the answers below for my case:

1.It's OF3.0
2. I tried to reproduce it from a printed book which is tested the case for OF2.1.0
3. But I used a case from tutorials of OF3.0 to make the needed files (hotRoom).
4.the solver is "buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam"

Thanks

Hi,

alphatWallFunction is only available in compressible solvers. As you are using a Boussinesq Solver, your fluid is incompressible and only the alphatJayatillekeWallFunction can be used.

Incompressible: http://foam.sourceforge.net/docs/cpp/a10795.html
Compressible: http://foam.sourceforge.net/docs/cpp/a10792.html

Cheers

Fabian

Hi Dear Fabian

When I use 'alphatJayatillekeWallFunction' instead the error is like bellow:

Code:
buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam > log


--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
keyword Prt is undefined in dictionary "/home/shahabeddin/Desktop/elbow/0/alphat.boundaryField.walll"

Well yes. You have to define turbulent Prandtl number for the patches.

Code:
yourPatch
{
    type alphatJayatillekeWallFunction;
    Prt  0.85;
}
Cheers
