hello,

there is a , instead of ;
scalar U_0 = 0.003,

But you probably found that already.

Thanks All

Greetings guys...
I want to apply a codedFixedValue to a 0/p for the inlet of an oscillatory flow... according to NS equation that p value should have something like p=-2*pi*f*U_m*cos(2*pi*f*t)x, so at left boundary x=-20 therefore this equation becomes p=-2*pi*f*U_m*cos(2*pi*f*t)*(-20).

I want to realize that p BC by codedFixedValue as following:
inlet
{
type codedFixedValue;
value uniform 0;
redirectType rampedFixedValue;
code
#{

operator==40*3.141*1*cos(3.141*0.5*this->db().time().value());

#};
}

However I keep getting the following error msg:

I wonder if in order to use the codedFixedValue, one has to do something like in the msg: "adding to the InfoSwitches setting in the system controlDict: allowSystemOperations 1"?? But I'm not sure how exactly to do that?? What is the InfoSwitches setting in controlDict?? I copied "allowSystemOperations 1" to controlDict and it didnt work....

Greetings November,

I've written about this some time ago... read this section: 2.1 Additional tuning

Best regards,
Bruno

Thanks a lot Bruno!!! I can apply the coded BC now however...

I am trying to simulate a very easy problem - oscillatory flow around a circular cylinder (3D), however I got stuck for the inlet and outlet boundary conditions here... and have been searching the web for solutions but without luck..
so, I want a inlet velocity at u_x=U_m*sin(2*pi*f*t), U_m=1m/s, u_y=0, u_z=0. Therefore I have specified for the inlet and outlet BC in 0/u as followings:

code:
and for the 0/p, I first tried to put for inlet the "fixedValue=0" but the results are not good. So I guessed according to NS, dp/dx=-du/dt at inlet, therefore dp/dx can bu calculated according to u_x, and do an intergral one gets the p=-2*pi*f*U_m*cos(2*pi*f*t)*x....So I decided to use the codedFixedValue for that p:

But the results gets non-convergent after sometime...

Specifying the BC of inlet and outlet for an oscillatory flow around a circular cylinder... It looks easy however I couldnt find an example as how people did it... I am really confused now...Could you give me some hints??? Thanks in advance!!

Hi Goutam,

Had you any luck applying your BC????

Anyways, this works with me:
Best regards,
Hisham

I wrote the following code and now its working:

inlet
{
type codedFixedValue;
value $internalField;
redirectType ramp;

code
#{
scalar U_0=0.001934;
scalar r=0.02595;
fixedValueFvPatchVectorField myPatch(*this);
forAll(this->patch().Cf(),i)
{
myPatch[i]=vector(2*U_0*(1-Foam::pow(this->patch().Cf()[i].x(),2)/r/r),0,0);
}
operator==(myPatch);
#};
}

Hi Friends,
I want to use codedFixedValue boundaryfield for boundary condition in Inlet for U. If I used constant value for equation it works but when I want to put values from another file it doesn't work. How can I force this patch-type for reading a constant from another file(e.g., include/initials)??
My code is:
inlet
{
type codedFixedValue;
redirectType velocity_inlet;
code
#{
scalar Ustar=$Ustar;;
scalar k=0.42;
scalar z0=2.25e-4;
fixedValueFvPatchVectorField myPatch(*this);
forAll(this->patch().Cf(),i)
{
myPatch[i]=vector(Ustar/k*(Foam::log((this->patch().Cf()[i].y()+z0)/z0)),0,0);
}
operator==(myPatch);
#};

value $internalField;
}


and I get the error below:
‘Ustar’ was not declared in this scope

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi
I am trying to make a ramped BC as mentioned above (Tomasso Lucchini's rampedFixedValue BC).

It compiles, but when using it in the cavitycase I get this error:

I use 2.1.x

I am trying to define a boundary condition, T(Temperature) will change with a Z(coordinates). But I don’t know ,which boundary should I user ,movingwall or front,etc;
I NEED HELP

@hesong
Why don't you use groovyBC!? For your B.C the groovyBC could be the best choice.

thank you !
could you provide some detailed information
I just learn this software for several months.

Using groovyBC for complex BCs is straightforward. You can search it in the forum and find a lot of resources on working with groovyBC and swak4FOAM:

I hope you can find your solution.

Hi Foamers,

I want to implement a boundary condition at inlet.

𝑇_𝑠=𝑇_0+1/𝐶_𝑝 [𝑄_𝑓/(𝑚*̇ " )*̇ −𝐻_𝑣𝑎𝑝 ]


In this equation Q_f and 𝑚*̇ " need to be taken from inlet at previous time step.

Is it possible to do it using grovyBC or codedFixedValue in Openfoam? Which one be easier to implement?

Thanks in advance.....

Hello everybody,

I am experimenting with #codestream and codedFixedValue boundary conditions. I was able to implement #codeStream successfully for the internalField. But I am having a lot of trouble with codedFixedValue. I can't even get the example code given in the documentation to work. The code is compiling without mistakes but when I view it in Paraview it is applying the value (uniform 0) that is specified for 'value'. Any idea why codedFixedValue does not work for me?

By the way, I am using OF 2.1.1. Thank you very much.

I want to try something advanced but I am not sure of OF syntax and such.I just want to clarify if this code is supposed to work. It is just setting some fixed value.

I know this doesn't require codedFixedValue but just wondering if it should work. Like I said in my previous post, the codedFixedValue does not show any errors when I run Paraview but it shows 400000 for the patch instead of 200000.

Once again, thanks everyone.

Quick answer: Given how you coded it, the value is only updated in the first time step of the solver or at least when you run decomposePar.

Hi Bruno,

Thank you very much for replying me. Really appreciate you taking your time to help others.

I used decomposePar and then reconstructPar to see if the changes take effect but there seems to be no change at all. The #code section is still being ignored.

Hi usv001,

Something very strange is going on here... at least in my machine. I would have to rebuild OpenFOAM 2.1.1 from source code to fix the problem on my side and I don't feel like it right now.

There are two things I need to you test/check:

1. Run the tutorial case "incompressible/simpleFoam/pipeCyclic". To run it:
   
   Code:

   ---

   ./Allrun

   ---

   Then inspect the contents of the file "log.simpleFoam". I ask this because this tutorial should work as intended.
2. The code you're using has a flaw... this:
   
   Code:

   ---

   operator == (200000);

   ---

   should be at least like this:
   
   Code:

   ---

   operator==(200000);

   ---

Because I suspect that the boundary condition isn't even being built in your case, because you should see a pretty glaring error message when trying to use decomposePar.


In addition to this, which Linux Distribution and version are you using?

Best regards,
Bruno
