strain rate magnitude

Kanarya · September 1, 2014, 07:45

Hi,
I am using tensors in udf so my question is:
should I initialize the tensors?or there is no need for it?
for example

PHP Code:


			
 for(j=0;j<ND_ND;j++)

{

for(i=0;i<ND_ND;i++)

{

  S12[i][j]=0.0;

}

}

and then 

for(j=0;j<ND_ND;j++)

{

for(i=0;i<ND_ND;i++)

{

  S12[i][j]=....calculate;

}

}

is it ok?
thanks in advance!

hi, anybody know the difference in equation of vorticity and strain rate in CFD fluent. i want to write the UDF of vorticity in 3D.
if anybody know about this, please share this .
thanks

Hi,
I know this conversation is very old, but the information here is very important.

I would like to know, shear stress for the incomprehensible fluid is given as following equation, by just removing the linear expansion terms?

$s=\sqrt{(u_{z}+w_{x})^{2}+(u_{y}+v_{x})^{2}+(w_{y}+v_{z})^{2}}$

Is it correct ?

Hi friends,
How can I write gradient of strain rate (∇γ ̇) in udf?
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,

Hi, thanks for this

Does anyone has a good reference for the derivation? Thanks!

Could you please help about this as well. And could you possibly suggest me a tensor book for a beginner?

and the mean strain rate:

Sij=1/2*(dUi/Dxj+dUj/dxi)

I need th correct formulation in the SMAGORINSKY-model.

Thank you very much
