a way to find out wall-neighboring cells?
 
hello!

i want to find out the cell-ID of all wall-neighboring cells and declare them as a variable. I have written the following UDF, but I don't know how to find out if it works, because i have no idea how to view the cell-ID or the cells.

#include "udf.h" #include "mem.h"

cell_t c; cell_t c0; cell_t c1; face_t f; Domain *domain; Thread *t;

DEFINE_ON_DEMAND(cell_check) { begin_f_loop(f, t)

{

cell_t c0 = F_C0(f, t);

if (c0 == NULL)

{

cell_t c1 = F_C1(f, t);

}

} end_f_loop(f, t) }

1. Does anybody know how i can check if it works? 2. Maybe you know that it won't work and have other proposals, please tell me!

Thanks in advance, Christian

Why not work? It seems perfect!!!

The way to test it is to try cases... lol

tested it ==> segmentation violation. I knew it seemed perfect, but that`s the way perfect things work. I can imagine there is an error produced at the inlet/outlet boundary conditions. by the way, the command `NULL`is defined in FLUENT anyway?

Have you defined the thread var f globally? Sounds you like global definition...lol

If not or f is not assigned correctly, there must be a problem with your function, DEFINE_ON_DEMAND(cell_check). "segmentation violation" means you are refering an mem address out of the stack or heap, and this suggest you an easy way to debug it: try to test the value of the pointer var. Since there is no debugger in Fluent, some printf statements may help.

NULL is OK, since it's an internal macro of C compiler defined in, for example, stdio.h. If you are still not sure about it, you can use if((ulong)c0==0)...

Enjoy your debugging~~~
