Hi,

Can anyone explain me how I can introduce power heat (W) in chtMultiRegionFoam solver?

In my case I have 1.5 W in my LED.

Thanks

You have to use fvOptions in order to set up your heat source. Check this out!

Regards,

Alex

Hi Alex,

I have try to do a sample 2D test with fvOptions.

I think that fvOptions don't have any effect. I use OF-2.3.0 and chtMultiRegionFoam.

fvOptions:
Code:
/*--------------------------------*- C++ -*----------------------------------*\
| =========                 |                                                 |

        injectionRateSuSp
        {
            h    (10 0);
        }
    }
}
My case (https://www.dropbox.com/s/snaqn957og...c4.tar.gz?dl=0).

Thanks

My case (https://www.dropbox.com/s/snaqn957og...c4.tar.gz?dl=0).

Thanks
Taking a quick glance over the case you uploaded, in your case I would try the following fvOptions:
Code:
cylindre_Source_scalar
{
    type    scalarSemiImplicitSource;
    selectionMode    all;
    active    true;
    scalarSemiImplicitSourceCoeffs
    {
        volumeMode    specific;
        injectionRateSuSp
        {
            h    (10 0);
        }
    }
}
It should work in your case, at least it works in my cases.

Btw, can you post your log file so that we can see if fvOptions is correctly read by the solver? In the output of the solver it says if any fvOptions have been read or not...

Best regards,

Alex

Well, as you can see
Code:
Creating finite volume options from "system/fvOptions"

Selecting finite volume options model type scalarSemiImplicitSource
    Source: cylindre_Source_scalar
    - applying source for all time
    - selecting all cells
    - selected 176 cell(s) with volume 2.786796e-06
the solver is reading correctly the fvOptions file. If you state that it is not doing anything then maybe you set up your file with wrong units... I don't know what else I can say since I don't have enough info to be able to judge your case...

means 28 microwatts are you expecting to see anything at that power?

to get 1.5W you need a number more like 5E5

Thanks Derek to point out that the "missing" info was in the post above... :P

@aminem: Otherwise you can also use
Code:
  scalarSemiImplicitSourceCoeffs     {        
 volumeMode    absolute;        
 injectionRateSuSp        
 {             h    (1.5 0);         }     
}

Hi,

In my fvOptions I have put absolute in volumeMode. Now fvOptions have an effect on temperature.

I have doubt on what BC I must put. As you can see in attached figure I want to put my solid in open air volume. I have put freestream BC, but I have this error:

Code:
Solving for fluid region fluide
diagonal:  Solving for rho, Initial residual = 0, Final residual = 0, No Iterations 0
#0  Foam::error::printStack(Foam::Ostream&) at ??:?
#1  Foam::sigFpe::sigHandler(int) at ??:?
#2   in "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6"
#3  double Foam::sumProd<double>(Foam::UList<double> const&, Foam::UList<double> const&) at ??:?
#4  Foam::PBiCG::solve(Foam::Field<double>&, Foam::Field<double> const&, unsigned char) const at ??:?
#5  
 at ??:?
#6  
 at ??:?
#7  
 at ??:?
#8  __libc_start_main in "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6"
#9  
 at ??:?
What kind of BC I should put in open BC (freestream, InletOutlet, OutletInlet, ....)

Thanks for your help

Hi aminem,

We could do a exchange.... I usually use inletOulet for U,T,p_rgh and I have obtained good results, however, you would also try with fixedPressure in p_rgh. My doubt is about injectRateSuSp inside a solid.... it doesn't work but if I use it inside a fluid, it works..... I don't know the problem, could you help me?

U
{
type inletOutlet;
inletValue uniform ( 0 0 0 );
value uniform ( 0 0 0 );
}

T
{
type inletOutlet;
inletValue uniform 300;
value uniform 300;
}

p_rgh
{
type inletOutlet;
inletValue uniform 1E5;
value uniform 1E5;
}

My simulation is like your model, with atmospheric conditions but I have a bulb with a light-wire. The problem is the wire... it has 3D mesh and I want to introduce power/m^3 inside the wire using fvOptions. It hasn't worked.....the wire hasn't increased the temperature...... I checked the unit and these were correct....
In my fvOptions file:

heatSource
{
type scalarSemiImplicitSource;
active on;
selectionMode all;

scalarSemiImplicitSourceCoeffs
{
volumeMode specific;
injectionRate
{
h (5e+09 0);
}
}
}

thanks!

ok!

The model is a chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam simulation without radiation. It consists in a bulb with wire and support inside the atmospheric air (openning conditions). The target is the temperatures of the bulb, wire, support and domain0 (air atmospheric). The input is the power of wire, which is a solid. The support is also a solid and the bulb and the air are a fluids.
The wire volume is 5e-09 [m^3] and I have to introduce 5e+09 [W/m^3]. The best way is fvOptions....but, when I carry out the solver, the temperature of wire doesnt increase.....it maintains same value.
I did proves which consisted in the power introducing in a fluid with the same method.......and inside the fluid, it worked..... I don't understand it....
I have loaded some image and some codes....All codes of wire.

Hi Curtuns1,

1/We need to see your Log file to know if the fvOptions file is read.

2/You must put fvOptions in system/wire directory.

3/I think you need to put a cellZone indication in your fvOptions file?

For me it's work for one source. I try to do this with multiple sources.

Hi,

I've loaded the solver log. The solver works but the temperature of wire doesn't increase...... I think that the solver reads fvOptions correctly..... In addition, The problem isn't the units, because I have put values between [-5E20 to 5E20]..... but the temperature hasn't moved..... In a other forum, I've read about this and the introducing power inside a solid using fvOptions doesn't work. It could be a problem of code....
The fvOptions is just in the wire folder.

Are you sure the fvSolution's code you provided above belongs to the wire? I don't think so...

Regarding what you say about a problem in the code, you are wrong, there's no problem in the code, I have run several simulations with heat sources in solids and they work well for me...

With regard to the units, as per what you say, the bulb is providing only 1W. I don't know if it is correct or not but it seems a low value...

Have you set up properly your initial and boundary conditions?

I've checked all.... but I haven't found any error.... may be, there is one but I haven't seen it.
The units are correct, because the wire volume is 5e-09 m^3 and the heat flux is 5e+09 W/m^-3, therefore I have 25 W inside wire.
I'm going to carry out other models...

I'll tell you if I achieve to solve the problem.

Thanks.

Hi everybody,

I have found the ""error/solution"".............
The heat source of fvOptions works, if the model is no steadyState..... All time, I've been carrying out steadyState simulations (chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam) but when I have used chtMultiRegionFoam the heat source has been introduced....

I would like to do the model in steadyState with chtMultiRegionFoam...... any idea? could I do it? is it possible?

I'm thinking that the problem is in fvSchemes and fvSolution

Thanks

Hi Cartuns11,

I'm glad you could make it work in a transient state solver, however, it must work in steady state too because I have been working with chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam with solid generating regions for a while with no problem...

I suggest you something... Why don't you try to run one of the tutorial cases you can find within the "$FOAM_TUTORIALS/heatTransfer/chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam" directory first? You should add a heat source in one of the regions since no one of the tutorials contains volumetric heat generation, but if you are able to make the tutorial run properly obtaining physical results (I'm sure you can do it!) you can then adapt the geometry of your case to the parameters (fvSolution, fvSchemes...) used in the tutorial.

Hope it helps,

Alex
