Hello,
I have two question regarding the div Schemes. I set my div-Schemes like this: div(phi,U) Gauss linearUpwind grad(U) Could you tell me why I have to define a grad Scheme when using linear Upwind as a div Scheme? I don't see the diference between linearUpwind and upwind/QUICK which would explain the need for a gradient Scheme. Second question: I tried these: div(phi,U) Gauss upwind and: div(phi,U) Gauss upwind grad(U) Why can I define a grad Scheme after defining a div Scheme, what does it change? Thanks for your help in advance. |

the thread below might help you to understand why you need to specify a grad scheme when using linearUpwind and what the difference is between linearUpwind and upwind. http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tedlinear.html Best, Florian |

Hello,
I still have a doubt with the fvSchemes in the OpenFoam. What is the difference if I am using the div(phi,k) Gauss Upwind grad(k); or div(phi,k) Gauss Upwind; Similarly for other variables. I had gone through the thread suggested, but was not able to understand it clearly. Many thanks for any help. |
