HFLUENT is on a distinguished road
Hi,

I try to simulate wall slipping of a polymer melt by using Fluent. The idea is that the melt starts slipping at the wall above a critical shear stress (Tau_krit). Above this cirtical shear stress the wall shear stress follows the equation

Tau = Tau_krit + K*U_gleit,

where K is an material parameter (slipping coefficient) and U_gleit is the slipping velocity. For this im using the UDF attached below.

My problem is, that the equation mentioned above is only valid for the case if Tau>Tau_krit, otherwise the "no slip" condition of Fluent should be used for the calculation. Is there a possibility to affect this setting by an UDF? Up to know I am using the following expression to regard the mentioned condition in my UDF:

if (taumag111 < tau_krit0) //taumag111=calculated shear stress
F_PROFILE(f,t,i)= tau0[dir]; //tau0=shear stress in case of wall adhesion
else
F_PROFILE(f,t,i) = tau[dir]; //tau=shear stress in case of wall slipping

But this does not provide a useful result of my simulation. I think the Problem is the specified shear boundary condition affected by this approach.
Another Idea is to set the velocity of the cells close to the boeundary to zero. Would that work? How can I include this in the UDF?

It would be great if someone would have an Idea.

Thank You!
