Hey guys,
I'm relatively new to navier-stokes (and CFD), although I have experience with other PDEs in the past. Feel free to tread me as a beginner with a reasonable math background... What I want to do is actually rather odd, I want to simulate transient incompressible flow (using pisoFoam) within a very simple boundary setup from random initializations. I can calculate a smooth and pseudo-random divergence free velocity field that conforms to my boundary conditions (using an approach similar to this paper: http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~rbridson/docs/...-curlnoise.pdf), but then I want to simulate this in OpenFoam. So what I need is to calculate the associated pressure. Does OpenFlow have a solver to do this? Alternatively, is there a way to flag a scalar field (such as pressure) to be derived from all other fields? In Matlab I did try calculating the Laplacian of my velocity field, then I integrated this to get back pressure... However, when I plug the resultant pressure and velocity into OpenFoam I get very odd results. So I feel like it would be best to have OpenFoam handle deriving pressure from velocity. If you want me to post my OpenFoam files let me know. Thanks so much in advance for your help! I've been banging my head against a wall for two days now. |
