Real gas simulations - Problems with Linux
 

I would like to do real gas simulations. It works well with windows, but it always crashes with Linux when a backup or resultfile is written.

What can I do?

Re: Real gas simulations - Problems with Linux
 

How you set the real gas properties? Are you using RGP-file?

Re: Real gas simulations - Problems with Linux
 

no, I use the standard values of Redlich-Kwong and also modified heat capacities.

Hi,

what error do you find at the end of the out file? Isn't it just full disk??

Try to switch off the real gas, and run few iteration and save file in windows and the same then in Linux, to find the error by elimination. Check in def file what do you told it to write to result file.

No, it cannot be full disk. I already checked this.

This is my output control.

OUTPUT CONTROL:

BACKUP RESULTS: Backup Results 1

File Compression Level = Default

Iteration List = 150

Option = Standard

END

RESULTS:

File Compression Level = Default

Option = Standard

END

TRANSIENT RESULTS: Transient Results 1

File Compression Level = Default

Option = Standard

Time Interval = 0.0001 [s]

END

It also happens when I push the button for 'backup run' in the solver. This is the output I get:

This run of the CFX-5 Solver has finished.

I already tried several things, but I think I should begin from the start to be able to tell when the problem exactly occurs.

Have you checked that your directory is writable? If not, tyy this: $ chmod -Rvf 777 * (change to your working directory first)

Re: Real gas simulations - Problems with Linux
 

I tested it, when the error occurs:

It works as long as I use the standard values for the Redlich Kwong gases H2RK, N2RK and O2RK. But when I change the Zero Pressure Polynomial for H2RK, the above message occurs.

The directory is writeable.

It works with Windows and gives reliable results.

Has anyone an idea what may be the problem?

Re: Real gas simulations - Problems with Linux
 

I've got a similar error with a UserFortran code. It has run on windows but it crashed every time in linux in the first iteration with the message: c_fpx_handler: Floating point exception: Invalid Operand.


In my case I don't know whether is a compiler (PGI) or a code issue. But as long as it happens to you also (but without fortran I guess) it could be a bug in the linux version of the code.

I strongly suggest you to look for your technical support. They might have a look at it.
