Hi,
i have a little problem. My adviser needs a simulation of the assembly(coldwallreactor) seeing in addendum. I have done the tuts on the openFoam page. Now my few questions 1.What foamer do i need for that? IcoFoam? 2. Is that possible to creat the mesh with blockMesh or should i take an other messure for that problem? 3. How shall i build up the mesh seeing sec. addemdum? a.Create a big block, than omit all „air“ areas( or b.Create the „solid“ blocks first and than omit the „air“ |

Greetings Bullseye and welcome to the forum!
You can do the mesh with blockMesh. I suggest SwiftBlock for doing this, since it should make your life a lot easier. As for the solver, I can't figure out what's in play. You can try simpleFoam to get started, assuming it's a stationary fluid flow simulation. Once you've got the mesh and something that works with simpleFoam, you can then ask for more information in the respective sub-forum (don't forget to detail a bit better what's in play): Running, Solving & CFD Best regards, Bruno

Thank you I wanna try your tips But what do u mean with play? Should i describe how it works? Can Blender import .step so i can create the model in SolidEdge or must i learn how to create the model in blender? EDIT No Blender cant.
What swiftBlock file should i take from here? https://github.com/nogenmyr/swiftBlock Last edited by Bullseye; January 10, 2013 at 08:57. Reason: Edit |

I forgot to answer these questions - I mean "what's in play" in the sense of "what happens where, how and why"!?
In other words:
Best regards, Bruno

Is is compressible or incompressible? its incompressibe Is there more than one fluid or is it a gas mixture? It is a gas mixture. Most is N2 97% followed by H2 and C2H2 What fluid speeds (and/or Reynold number) are involved? laminar flow, velocity max 0.35 m/s Sorry for no formating the text, but java a a big gap, so i have dissabled it for browsing

As far as I know, you can use simpleFoam, as long as there is no chemical reaction, the gas is perfectly mixed in all zones and that you have enough information about the fluid properties of this gas mixture.

Thank you Bruno,
i installed Blender and swiftBlock and im doing my first little steps with both of them. My next questions are: 2D or 3D Modell? My advisor ment, that the real mesurements are just 2D. Real pipe, like addendum or just a massive, round rod? How to create the gap between pipe and heating element is that necessary? Should i create 3 single elements or is it possible to build one part like addendum? ok simpleFoam if no chemical reaction and if there is a chemical reaction not know but in future? But why no icoFoam? Cause in the UserGuide i read for simpleFoam "Steady-state solver for incompressible, turbulent flow". But i have no turbulents i it neither after "impact" at Si-Wafer Last edited by Bullseye; January 15, 2013 at 10:46. |

Hi Bullseye,

This is OpenFOAM, it is not Fluent, Star-CCM+ nor any other commercial CFD application. If you don't start small and gradually grow your case, you'll be stuck in the same place for a looooooong time... Quote:
Have you read the OpenFOAM User Guide? Have you done the tutorials on the User Guide? I'm asking this because icoFoam requires that you manually take into account the Courant number, while simpleFoam doesn't need it. Nonetheless, if you want to use icoFoam, I suggest you study very well the User Guide, as well as searching online for more information about icoFoam! Quote:
Best regards, Bruno
