Dear All,
I had posted a thread yesterday regarding some help on problem of oscillating cylinder. Since i did not get any reply i thought of making the problem a little more simpler,before i could go on with the oscillating cylinder.I have considered a translating cylinder in +X dir and fluid flow towards -X. The velocity of cylinder is 5m/s and that of fluid is 20m/s. I have attached the meshing snap shot. I am using polyhedral and prism layer meshing. The motion is defined using DFBI morphing. Inlet and outlet,top and bottom regions are fixed in physics condition, Cylinder is as six DOf body and symmetry defined using grid velocity. The grid velocity is same as the velocity of the cylinder. I have tried various time steps. At first the solution was not even starting but after a couple of hours of reading and working i have got it running and the cylinder is also moving but the residuals are continuously increasing. It runs for sometime and then an error message is displayed which is attached. Can any one please guide me with the problem? Once i can establish this i can move on to the problem of an oscillating cylinder. Again if anyone can give me some idea of how to define the oscillations, it will be of great help. Please advice Regards Arun |
