Hello,

Looking at the UserGuide, it's something I should be able to do.
I want to use the linear Upwind scheme for div(phi,U).

Using simpleFoam in Openfoam 1.4.1 on linux 64bit.


div(phi,U) Gauss linear;
div(phi,U) Gauss linear corrected;
div(phi,U) Gauss QUICK;

works fine. But

div(phi,U) Gauss linearUpwind;

does not.



I get:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR : Grad scheme not specified

Valid grad schemes are :

8
(
cellMDLimited
extendedLeastSquares
faceMDLimited
leastSquares
fourth
faceLimited
cellLimited
Gauss
)

You need to specify the grad-scheme used by linearUpwind, e.g.

div(phi,U) Gauss linearUpwind Gauss linear;

or

div(phi,U) Gauss linearUpwind leastSquares;

or if you want to limit the gradient used by the linearUpwind scheme which is often beneficial

div(phi,U) Gauss linearUpwind cellLimited Gauss linear 1;

etc.

I have the same problem and tried to adapte it on my case with the bouyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam, but it didn't work.
This is what I get:

You messed up the order: cellLimited is a modifier for a gradient scheme, so it comes first. Think about which class should contain which.

div(phi,U) Gauss linearUpwind cellLimited Gauss linear 1;

Enjoy,

Hello!

I got a question. Does div(phi,U) Gauss linearUpwind fourth mean that with order fourt the velocity field is approximated?

Cheers

No, it means you use a fourth-order scheme to compute the gradients, but clearly the order of the linearUpwind stays unchanged.

I think I have to learn something. Could you send me a reference which contains the derivation of this kind of scheme?

Does anyone know, how should the same fvSchemes be set in the 2.0 version of OpenFOAM?

Hi!

Code:
gradSchemes
{
    default         cellLimited leastSquares 1;
}

divSchemes
{
    default        none;
    div(phi,epsilon) Gauss linearUpwind grad(epsilon);  // OF20x syntax
    div(phi,k)       Gauss linearUpwind grad(k);  // OF20x syntax
    div(phi,U)       Gauss linearUpwind grad(U);  // OF20x syntax
    div((nuEff*dev(T(grad(U)))))     Gauss linear;  // OF20x syntax
}
My example which I use with pimpleFoam.

Could you help me with this:

Implementing: laplacian(nuEff,U) Gauss linear Gauss fourth;

gives:

[0] --> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
[0] Unknown discretisation scheme fourth

Valid schemes are :

3
(
corrected
limited
uncorrected
)

but it should be able to work with fourth...

Thanks

The correct syntax is

Gauss <scheme> <correction option>;

so

Gauss linear corrected;

For fourth-order it is:

Gauss cubic corrected;

Best,

Hi again Alberto

Well my simulation ran, but I guess I have not achieved what I wanted.

In the attached graph I have made the simulations from 0 to 20 degrees with a step of 2 degrees with OpenFOAM and another CFD code.

I want to use the QUICK scheme, but I am over predicting my solution with OF in comparison to the other CFD code and both over predict lift in comparison to the measurements (Abbot and Doenhoff).

I have my convection terms with QUICK and the diffusion terms with second order scheme (Gauss linear corrected).

Thus I change my diffusion terms to a fourth interpolation scheme in order to improve my solution (QUICK2), and I can see that the curve is lower, but still it can not capture the separation pretty well. In this case my diffusion terms are Gauss cubic corrected.

Do you have any suggestions for improving my results?

Regards

Felipe

ps: I was going to upload the case but due to the size, it did not let allow me to do it. But I could send you a tar file with it (2.7 MB).

Ok, because in 20x I noticed strange behavior: viscous terms are under-estimated in my case with equal settings I was simulating in v16 and 17x. I will study it in details and also report here on forum.
