Hello,

I am trying to understand the Arbitrary Rotating AMI case (https://holzmann-cfd.de/openfoam/ope...y-rotating-ami), and I would really appreciate any help to some questions about the tutorial.

1) If I run the case with ./run, everything is smooth, but could it be the same if I type each line in the terminal? I can't do in that way because when I type the first line cd ${0%/*} || exit 1, the location changes to /usr/bin, and I cannot type the next lines because I got errors of location.

2) I have opened AMI.stl and regionSTL.stl in Paraview, but I can't find any patch. Is it because I would need to open in a specific software?

3) Could I add heat transfer equations (radiation, convection) to pimpleDymFoam? Is it possible to use a method similar to the one found here (http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ho...ure_to_icoFoam).

Kind Regards,
Paul

Hi,

1. yes you can type everything in a terminal but the first command is not related to OpenFOAM stuff. Check google for the answer what that is doing.

2. regionSTL included region names. Patches are generated by snappyHexMesh. Read the user guide (there are so many references out nowadays; no need to explain it again and again)

3. Yes you can. The link you mentioned is just a passive scalar equation. The things you would like to use is a bit more work. Therefore, I would directly use a density based solver. By the way - convection / advection is always included.

Hi Tobias,
Thanks. Here are my understanding about your explanation.
1) It works differently when I run in the terminal because it goes to the root, but if I use in a document, it says only that I'll run from that directory.
2) I have opened as text file, and I can see that you have created the region names in the stl. file, then apply snappyHexMeshDict.
3) I'll check that in more detail.

Thanks again for your answer.
Paul

About the script. It is just Linux.
