Dear all
I am a newbie on OpenFoam software, so i want to ask about fv scheme

I don't know about some equation as: steadyState, Gauss linear, Gauss upwind, Gauss linear corrected, Euler, ...

Could you explain clearly for me?
I found all of equation in the Cfd online. But i didn't see it.

Could you show me some equation ?
Thank you very much.

Best regards.

Hi Fuji,

You probably should narrow down your question. Below are a few quick answer

steadyState: The temporal term in the appropriate equation is neglected (i.e steady state solution which does not evolve in time). It is usually replaced by a under-relaxation terms to reduce the stiffness of the system;

Gauss: is a method involving the Gauss theorem, which transform a volume integral into a surface integral;

Gauss linear: apply the gauss theorem, using a linear interpolation of the cell center value to the face value;

Gauss upwind: apply the gauss theorem, using an upwind interpolation of the cell center value to the face value.

I am not sure if the above is really useful, but it is my definition of these terms.

Good luck.

Forgot, I was meaning to point you to the cfd-online Wiki>Reference Section>Numerical Method.

It could be a good start to understand the meaning behind these terms.

Bonjour,

Dear Julien

Thank you for your reply.
But I have still understood fv scheme.

PDE's (the equations OpenFOAM solves) are equations of derivatives. The schemes are different ways to approximate those derivatives.
In finite difference equations, you classically make a Taylor series expansion then solve for the derivative you want (like d/dx).
Finite volume (what OpenFOAM uses) is similar, but cell based so you can use Gauss's Theorem and flux terms.

Many of the schemes are specific to CFD, so if you want information about something specific, check out the source code, just various places on the internet, or even Journal Articles if you want a really deep understanding.

If you're really confused, check out a calculus book, or one on numerical methods.

Thank a lot sleepdeprivation
I will try to use it.
