Constant velocity fiield - Zalesak Disk

gio3 · September 20, 2016, 13:16

Hello everyone,

I have just started to use interFoam. I have few experience with OpenFOAM but I'm a yet beginner.

I would like to run the Zalesak slotted disk problem which requires a constant velocity field.
Particularly the velocity field is position dependent, the expression is
u_x = -2 \pi y
u_y = 2 \pi x

I tried to use fvOption, using as type meanVelocityForce, but i think that in this way is only possible to add a value to the velociity field (the Ubar value), non an expression.
Any suggests?

Thank you in advance,
Giovanni

do you realize the Zalesak slotted disk? i face the same problem with you. if you slove it ,could you share it with me? thank you very much.

You can use funkySetFields to set your velocity profile:

If you set momentumPredictor entry to no in fvSolution file, the initial velocity profile you set is kept unchanged.
