Dear Foamers ,

I have a question about engine geometry file for sonicTurbDyMEngineFoam solver ,
What are these boundaries?
curtainInPortPatch ?
curtainInCylinderPatch ?
detachInCylinderPatch ?
detachInPortPatch ?

Code:

Actually I found a 2D case and I want to simulate a 3D case that the images for both of them attached. I guess the detachInCylinderPatch and detachInPortPatch are two boundaries that generated when a valve closed.Also curtainInPortPatch and curtainInCylinderPatch are for using sliding mesh. But I don't know where are they in my case and how can I create them? in the 2D case they are in middle of two blocks and mesh generated at two side of them.

Can anyone explain about these boundaries?
where are they in my case?
How can I creat them?

Thanks and best regards ,
Sasan.

You'll have to use setSet (since I assume you are using 1.6-ext) to select faces and turn them into faceZones. From then you can create the patches with createPatch.

Dear Marco ,
Thanks for your reply
I am using Gambit for 3D simulation I think that I must split my geometry with a face to creat these boundaries. But my problem is that I dont know where are these boundaries in my 3D geometry...Can you explain these boundaries?where are they exactly?

Thanks,
Sasan

You should look at the code for the particular type of engine mesh you are using (I think its an engineTopoChangeMesh), in $FOAM_SRC/engine/engineTopoChangeMesh/.

There is also a pdf presentation from PoliTecnico De Milano that explains a lot, since they developed a lot of them. That and lots of other stuff at:
