No flow in vertical pipe.
3 Attachment(s)
As a beginner, I have attempted to model a vertical pipe, filled with water and open at top and bottom.
problem is I am not getting any flow out of the bottom outlet. The vertical velocity refuses to budge from its initial zero value. I have used the twoLiquidMixingFoam but in this case I use only one fluid. I have set the 0/U file as: FoamFile { version 2.0; format ascii; class volVectorField; location "0"; object U; dimensions [0 1 -1 0 0 0 0]; internalField uniform (0 0 0); boundaryField { topOutlet { type inletOutlet; inletValue uniform (0 0 0); value uniform (0 0 0); } bottomOutlet { type inletOutlet; inletValue uniform (0 0 0); value uniform (0 0 0); } pipe { type fixedValue; value uniform (0 0 0); } } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ and the 0/p_rgh file as: FoamFile { version 2.0; format ascii; root ""; case ""; instance ""; local ""; class volScalarField; object p_rgh; dimensions [1 -1 -2 0 0 0 0]; internalField uniform 0; boundaryField { bottomOutlet { type fixedValue; value uniform 0; } topOutlet { type fixedValue; value uniform 0; } pipe { type zeroGradient; } ------------------------------------------------------- The pipe is 50 cm vertical column and having a square 4 cm by 4 cm cross-section I attach the distribution of p_rgh, p, Ux (the vertical velocity) about 10 s after the simulation starts. SO, what could be the possible problem? IS there a problem with BC at bottom outlet? |
