Hey FOAMers,

I try to implement a new turbulence model in OpenFOAM. For doing this I slightly want to change the reynolds-stress equation of the LaunderGibsonRSTM-turbulence model. More exactly, I want add a new term to the currently existing terms of the equation. This term is:

Code:
C*k*((R_/(2*k)-1.0/3.0*I)&skew(fvc::grad(U_)) + skew(fvc::grad(U_))&(R_/(2*k)-1.0/3.0*I))
If I add this term and compile the file, I get the following error message:

Code:
YounisWeigandVogler.C: In member function ‘virtual void Foam::incompressible::RASModels::YounisWeigandVogler::correct()’:
YounisWeigandVogler.C:544: error: no match for ‘operator==’ in ‘Foam::operator+(const Foam::tmp<Foam::fvMatrix<Type> >&, const Foam::tmp<Foam::fvMatrix<Type> >&) [with Type = Foam::SymmTensor<double>](((const Foam::tmp<Foam::fvMatrix<Foam::SymmTensor<double> > >&)((const Foam::tmp<Foam::fvMatrix<Foam::SymmTensor<double> > >*)(& Foam::fvm::Sp(const Foam::tmp<Foam::GeometricField<double, Foam::fvPatchField, Foam::volMesh> >&, Foam::GeometricField<Type, Foam::fvPatchField, Foam::volMesh>&) [with Type = Foam::SymmTensor<double>](((Foam::GeometricField<Foam::SymmTensor<double>, Foam::fvPatchField, Foam::volMesh>&)(&((Foam::incompressible::RASModels::YounisWeigandVogler*)this)->Foam::incompressible::RASModels::YounisWeigandVogler::R_))))))) == Foam::operator+(const Foam::tmp<Foam::GeometricField<TypeR, PatchField, GeoMesh> >&, const Foam::tmp<Foam::GeometricField<Type1, PatchField, GeoMesh> >&) [with Type1 = Foam::SymmTensor<double>, Type2 = Foam::Tensor<double>, PatchField = Foam::fvPatchField, GeoMesh = Foam::volMesh](((const Foam::tmp<Foam::GeometricField<Foam::Tensor<double>, Foam::fvPatchField, Foam::volMesh> >&)((const Foam::tmp<Foam::GeometricField<Foam::Tensor<double>, Foam::fvPatchField, Foam::volMesh> >*)(& Foam::skew(const Foam::tmp<Foam::GeometricField<Foam::Tensor<double>, PatchField, GeoMesh> >&) [with PatchField = Foam::fvPatchField, GeoMesh = Foam::volMesh]()))))’

I thought it is perhaps a problem with the "skew function", so I tried not to use this function, but implementing it by using the definition of this function, that means:

Code:
"skew(fvc::grad(U_))" = 0.5*(fvc::grad(U_)-fvc::grad(U_).T())
Unfortunately this creates the following error message:


Code:
YounisWeigandVogler.C: In member function ‘virtual void Foam::incompressible::RASModels::YounisWeigandVogler::correct()’:
YounisWeigandVogler.C:544: error: ‘class Foam::tmp<Foam::GeometricField<Foam::Tensor<double>, Foam::fvPatchField, Foam::volMesh> >’ has no member named ‘T’
Has anyone encountered similar problems or does anyone know how to solve these problems? Thanks a lot

Dear Sven,

the precedence of the "&"-operator in C++ is differs from what is should be according to it equivalent in mathematics. I think the guide is mentioning that somewhere.

That means that you should put brackets around each term in involving "&" (a & b).

Please try and see whether the error message changes ...

Thanks for your answer henrik. I tried to put brackets around the expressions with &, but it didn't help. I still get the error message:
Code:
no match for 'operator=='
I think it is a perhaps a problem, because the last term I add to the equation

Code:
+C5_*k_*(b&(skew(fvc::grad(U_)))+(skew(fvc::grad(U_)))&b)
is asymmetric, but the whole equation is defined for symmetric matrices

Code:
tmp<fvSymmTensorMatrix> REqn
    (
        fvm::ddt(R_)
      + fvm::div(phi_, R_)
      //- fvm::laplacian(Cs_*(k_/epsilon_)*R_, R_)
      - fvm::laplacian(DREff(), R_)
      + fvm::Sp(K1_*epsilon_/(2*k_)+K1Star_*G/(2*k_),R_)
      ==
        P
        +(1.0/3.0)*(K1_*epsilon_+K1Star_*G)*I-(2.0/3.0)*epsilon_*I
        +(C3_-C3Star_*(pow(trace_bb,0.5)))*k_*S
        +C4_*k_*((bS+Sb)-2.0/3.0*tr(bS)*I)
        +K2_*epsilon_*(bb-1.0/3.0*trace_bb*I)
       /+C5_*k_*(b&(skew(fvc::grad(U_)))+(skew(fvc::grad(U_)))&b)        
     );
Thus I tried to change fvSymmTensorMatrix to fvTensorMatrix, but that didnt help either!
