setup of inital condition
1 Attachment(s)
hi
I would like to simulate an unsteady flow with a linear thermal gradient (with the vertical depth Z) at inlet. The all dominion should be initialized with the same gradient. How can I impose these value of temperature to the internal mesh? the simplified problem is something like the image attached. Suggestion about the solver to use? Thanks Silvia |
You may need to do some modification on the source code for new inlet boundary. http://www.tfd.chalmers.se/~hani/kur...yCondition.pdf
This pdf may help you find a way. |
actually, it may be easier that. Take a look at the discussion http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...-openfoam.html
and then check the user guide 4.2.9. Hope it may help. |
Did you try funkySetFields?

thanks for the suggestions. I used funkysetfields for temperature gradient and
timeVaryingUniformFixedValue for unsteady conditions at inlet. The fluid to simlate to is water, so uncompressible About the solver: I tried to use bouyantboussinesqpimpleFoam putting the following boundary conditions: U internalField uniform (0 0 0); boundaryField { inlet : timeVaryingUniformFixedValue; outlet: zeroGradient; bottom fixed value uniform (0 0 0); atmosphere zeroGradient; defaultFaces empty (2D case) } T inlet type fixedValue; value nonuniform All other boundaries are set as zerogradient. p inlet { type zeroGradient; } outlet { type fixedValue; value uniform 0; } bottom { type zeroGradient; } atmosphere { type fixedValue; value uniform 0; defaultFaces { type empty; For thermopysical aspect I use the folowing: thermoType hPsiThermo<pureMixture<constTransport<specieThermo <hConstThermo<icoPolynomial>>>>>; mixture water 1 18 4190 0 1.001e-03 10; pRef 100000; I tried with and without gravity but the temperature field seems to become crazy, with value too high! Did I make some big mistake or should I consider a different solver? and which one? thank you Silvia |
