Hi every one,
I am trying to solve water transport equation in a fuel cell using ANSYS Fluent.
I need to define a flux for the equation that I am gonna solve. The problem is that I cannot calculate face gradients in my code. I used F_UDSI_G(c,t,0) macro for this purpose but I recieved this error:
"
..\..\src\sources2.c(348) : error C2109: subscript requires array or pointer type
..\..\src\sources2.c(348) : error C2109: subscript requires array or pointer type
..\..\src\sources2.c(348) : error C2109: subscript requires array or pointer type
"
Does anybody know how to calculate face gradients of a UDS in fluent?

I think that gradient data are not stored for the faces excepted boundary faces. You can only calculate the gradient by estimating a mean of the adjacent cells to the face....

Good luck

Hi every body

I wanted to return derivative of UDS as wall boundary value, but I faced with "fatal signal" while initializing (both Hybrid and standard) that I found this because of boundary condition UDS.
this is part of my udf for B.C of UDS( volume fraction of nanoparticle in my case)

DEFINE_PROFILE(alpha_bc1,thread,position)
{
Thread *t;
cell_t c;
.
.
.

begin_f_loop(f,thread)
{

C_UDSI_G(c,t,0)[0]=-(D_T/D_B)*C_T_G(c,t)[0];
F_PROFILE(f,thread,position)=C_UDSI_G(c,t,0)[0];
}
end_f_loop(f,t)
}

I would appreciate if anyone can help me about my mistakes.

Furthermore, I used Define_Adjust to calculate laplacian, maybe this is my fault?
can I use UDS as scalar variable and then I used it in source function?
I will turn off all Uds except one that I wanted to solve. is it true?
