createBaffles for fluent3DMeshToFoam
Dear Foamers
I want to define an interior plane inside my domain for my inlet boundary condition (for using mappedVelocityFlux B.C. we need an interior patch). I searched the whole forums and found that there is no such a concept in OpenFOAM. one way is to create a cyclic baffle (createBaffles). I've also studied all the posts regarding createBaffles and also all the tutorials in openFoam: Code:
find $FOAM_TUTORIALS -name Allrun | xargs grep -sl createBaffles Code:
/opt/openfoam211/tutorials/heatTransfer/buoyantSimpleFoam/circuitBoardCooling/Allrun Code:
createBaffles [OPTIONS] <faceZone> <(masterPatch slavePatch)> But I generated my mesh in Gambit so I can not define the required boxes that are needed by topoSetDict. I defined an interior plane in Gambit. then export it to OpenFOAM using fluent3DMeshToFoam. the interior plane converted to faceZone automatically. so I have a faceZone that is needed for createBaffles. I also need 2 cyclic patches too. I added them manually into my boundary Code:
type cyclic; is there any simpler method for creating a cyclic baffle using Gambit? can this cyclic baffle be created in Gambit and then be exported to OpenFOAM? Any help will be appreciated. |
I've found that if we manually add two cyclic patches with nFaces=0 into the boundary of polyMesh just like in TJunctionFan:(a cyclic baffle for fan b.c.)
Code:
fan_half0 I meshed my Geometry in Gambit so I don't have a blockMeshDict. If I only add the above lines into my boundary without blockMesh , The CheckMesh Gives Error:confused::confused: What can I do?? |
Hey,
i am faceing a similar problem at the moment! Did u find a solution to this? Or to other users, can u give a hint. I imported an external mesh and want to create baffles from faces. How can one do that? thx!! |
