Viscoelastic Fluid Flows using OpenFOAM The solver viscoelasticFluidFoam

Posted May 12, 2017 at 12:49 by kindle
More about the solver

there is someone asking "does this solver work with K-Epsilon? in other words can I solve a turbulent viscoelastic flow by the means of this solver?"

Compiles with OpenFOAM-2.3.x
Benchmark test to do. Usage to be learned

To turn off the stabilising technique used in the solver go to the main file of the viscoelastc model you want and do the etaPEff = 0 in the divTau() funtion or take out the

PBiCG VS smoothsolver

Posted March 31, 2017 at 11:51 by kindle
Updated May 11, 2017 at 09:21 by kindle (OF-4.x and Foam-extend have implemented this solver)
Namings of libraries are different in OpenFOAM and foam-extend. Well. BiCGStab is needed in U solver of viscoelasticFluidFoam

And this PBiCGStab is implemented also in the OF-4.x and foam-extend (go downstairs from the post). More specifically in OF-4.x it is added (https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-4.x/commit/1ca4bbf1d288075a76940d58fdf61cbfc49298ee) and in foam-extend it is modified (https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-dev/commit/c339d3018c98cb67c3455ab09db316c7c0618d5c).

My understanding is that openfoam will construct an equation of the form Ax = b, solve it in some iterative way, and will stop iterating when the residual, |Ax

pimpleFoam vs simpleFoam vs pisoFoam vs icoFoam?

Posted October 14, 2016 at 11:27 by kindle
Updated October 24, 2016 at 11:37 by kindle
Quite confusing sometime !

But, why is that a problem needs boundary condition for U and p and all the other possible variables?

pisoFoam has relaxation coef while icoFoam does not have this.
