Hi Carlo!

If the fields rho and pd exist in the time-step you're working on it should be possible. But FSF has no way of reading the densities for the two phases that are represented by gamma

Hi, thanks for you answer.
I made something like this:

funkySetFields . Pout -time 0 -field pd -expression '1000*9.81*pos().z' - expression 'pos().z <=386'.


It seems to work fine but i don't know if it's the right way to do it.

Hi Carlo!

But instead of the second -expression you surly used -condition, didn't you?

Bernhard

yes Sorry, I used -condition
 

yes Sorry,
I used -condition 'pos().z<=386'.
Is it correct??
Thank you

Hi!

It has been asked at another place on the board when FSF will work with 1.5. Well it looks like the 1.4.1-version compiles without modifications on 1.5 (which means: it worked all the time). Nevertheless: if you plan to pull the version from the svn I'd recommend to use the "new" URL as documented on http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Co...funkySetFields The "old" URL will be kept for 1.4.1 and will only receive bug-fixes

I tried to access the latest FSF using the openfoamwiki's pointer to the svn version as the July 29th 2008 post suggests. The svn seems to be down or its configuration has changed.

Can anyone provide an updated link to the svn or a link to FSF source for OF1.5?

According to a Sourceforge-Bulletin the sourceforge-svn-server is currently down for maintainance (they are speaking of a 12 hour window, which should be over soon, so be patient)

Thanks, I am leaving on vacation in less than 24 hours and setFields failed to set gamma properly on a free surface problem I want to run while I was gone.

The information in this discussion topic and wiki entry was exactly what I needed.

Hallo Bernhard.

I was woundering why your tool is always setting all boundary-condition to zeroGradient?

I stumbled over it, while initializing a gamma-field (for the usage with interFoam).
I had an existing gamma-file with given BC's and funkySetFields had overwritten all of them.

If there is a possibility to read some existing BC's and to put them into the "new" field, it would be a great impovement of the tool!

Hi Sebastian

Look at the keepPatches option. It does exactly what you are inquiring about.

Well, I'm sorry.
Thats obvious. Why didn't I see it beforehand?

Hello Guys. It's me again.
 

Hello Guys.

It's me again.
Is it possible to access the bessel functions j0 and j1 from inside funkySetFields?

Greetings.

Currently: no What do you n
 

Currently: no

What do you need THAT for?

Shouldn't be to hard to implement as it seems to be implemented as a function for fields: in the .yy and the .ll file duplicate everything that has a "sin" (for example) in it and replace sin with j0. Then recompile and it should be there

I think I'm not well enough into this.
What .yy and .ll files?

I need the Bessel functions to set up an initial 'hat shape' like Fig. 2 in http://test.interface.free.fr/Case04.pdf

There are two files in the FSF
 

There are two files in the FSF-sources with those extensions. You don't have to understand what you're doing there. Just trust you instincts ;) (some of the stuff you have to duplicate goes over more than one line)

I don't have time to insert that stuff before next week. So if you need it quickly you'll have to do it yourself

Bernhard

I think due to the fact, that you are exactly knowing what to do I would prefer, that you make the changes - no matter when.
Meanwhile I will take a look at the code and try not to mess with it.

Actually the update is already on the SVN. I also added the other functions that are specified in for scalars in the Programmer's guide. I just prefixed the Bessel-functions with "bessel" because I figured that y1 is too likely to clash with a field of the same name (so it is called besselJ1)

Bernhard

BTW: Concerning the title of this thread: I only fixed it for the 1.5-version

Great! I will try it the next days! Thank you.

Meanwhile I'm stuck on another problem concerning funkySetFields.
Working with the Rayleigh-Taylor-Instabilty I had to initialize a sinus-like interface.

Running funkySetFields with a condition like "pos().y <= 0.05*cos(2*pi*pos().x) + 2" does not include cells which should be partially filled and the interface looks more like some steps.

Unfortunately the simulations is not running as planned with the initialization from funkySetFields.

I had to write an MATLAB script which is also filling partially filled cells, to get a "smooth" sinus-function, which is far too much effort for such an initialization (imho).

Have a look at the attached images to make this more clear.

I have read this thread and found some similar problems with interfaces, but I'm not quite sure how to transfer this to my problem.

Hi!

Partial filling of the cells is easy if the mesh is equally spaced with a spacing dy in y-direction (please replace dy with the actual spacing and fun with the function you're using "0.05*cos(2*pi*pos().x) + 2")

"(mag(pos().y-fun)<dy/2) ? (fun-pos().y+dy/2) : ( pos().y < fun ? 1 : 0)"

Maybe a sign or two is wrong with that expression, I didn't test it. But the concept should be clear

Bernhard

Well, Sorry to ask this, but I don't know what xxx ? xxy : xxz means?
I read this is a conditional operator, but I have no idea what that is, and how it should look like in C++ ...
