Hi everybody, I have some troubles with finding the correct way to modify a source .C file in order to seek for positive/negative scalar values over the whole range of mesh cells. Namely, I'm trying to implement an improved version of the k-omega turbulence model, in which there is a correction of some of the closure coefficients that implies an if-else "check" over a field of scalar values. The following is the part of the source code containing the if-else condition (in the form I trivially suppose it could be correct):

// * * * * * * * * * * * * Private Member Functions * * * * * * * * * * * * //

tmp<volScalarField> kOmegaSI::kiKappa() const
{
return (1/(pow(omega_,3.0)))*((fvc::grad(k_))&(fvc::grad(ome ga_)));
}

tmp<volScalarField> kOmegaSI::fBetaStar() const
{
{
forAll(mesh.cells(),celli)
if (kiKappa()[celli] > scalar(0.0)) {
return ((scalar(680.0)+sqr(kiKappa()[celli]))/(scalar(400.0)+sqr(kiKappa()[celli])));
}
else {
return scalar(1.0);
}
}
}

And here it is the error message which appears after running the wmake utility:

kOmegaSI_1/kOmegaSI.C:56: error: ‘mesh’ was not declared in this scope
kOmegaSI_1/kOmegaSI.C:57: error: no match for ‘operator[]’ in ‘Foam::incompressible::RASModels::kOmegaSI::kiKapp a() const()[celli]’
kOmegaSI_1/kOmegaSI.C:58: error: no match for ‘operator[]’ in ‘Foam::incompressible::RASModels::kOmegaSI::kiKapp a() const()[celli]’
kOmegaSI_1/kOmegaSI.C:58: error: no match for ‘operator[]’ in ‘Foam::incompressible::RASModels::kOmegaSI::kiKapp a() const()[celli]’
kOmegaSI_1/kOmegaSI.C:61: error: conversion from ‘double’ to non-scalar type ‘Foam::tmp<Foam::GeometricField<double, Foam::fvPatchField, Foam::volMesh> >’ requested

So, can anybody give me some hints about my problem? Of course, if necessary, I could add additional information about the .C (and the corresponding .H header) file.

Thank you in advance

Hi

There are several issues in your code.

1. You have a function kiKappa which is called for every single element in the mesh. The function, however, computes the sought for values over the entire mesh. I would move kiKappa into fBetaStar unless kiKappa is needed elsewhere.

2. mesh is termed mesh_ in the turbulence models. See error on line 56.

3. Your return statements are wrong. You return a scalar, however the function fBetaStar is declared as returning a tmp<volScalarField>. So you most loop over a given field, populate it and return it as the correct type.

Best regards,

Niels

Hi Niels, first of all thanks for the reply. Next, I've tried to modify the code following the first two points that you have remarked and this is what I have obatined:

tmp<volScalarField> kOmegaSI::fBetaStar() const
{
volScalarField kiKappa=(1/(pow(omega_,3.0)))*((fvc::grad(k_))&(fvc::grad(ome ga_)));
{
forAll(mesh_.cells(),celli)
if (kiKappa[celli] > scalar(0.0)) {
return ((scalar(680.0)+sqr(kiKappa[celli]))/(scalar(400.0)+sqr(kiKappa[celli])));
}
else {
return scalar(1.0);
}
}
}

with the corresponding error message:

kOmegaSI_1/kOmegaSI.C: In member function ‘Foam::tmp<Foam::GeometricField<double, Foam::fvPatchField, Foam::volMesh> > Foam::incompressible::RASModels::kOmegaSI::fBetaSt ar() const’:
kOmegaSI_1/kOmegaSI.C:59: error: conversion from ‘double’ to non-scalar type ‘Foam::tmp<Foam::GeometricField<double, Foam::fvPatchField, Foam::volMesh> >’ requested
kOmegaSI_1/kOmegaSI.C:62: error: conversion from ‘double’ to non-scalar type ‘Foam::tmp<Foam::GeometricField<double, Foam::fvPatchField, Foam::volMesh> >’ requested

So it seems like the first two points have been fixed, but honestly I do not understand what do you mean about "loop over a given field, populate it and return it as the correct type". Namely, I got the concept but I don't know how to practically realize it...if you could give me some practical advice about it I will be really grateful....anyway, thank you once again

Regards

Vesselin

Perhaps you could do something like this:

Code:
tmp<volScalarField> kOmegaSI::fBetaStar() const
{
    volScalarField kiKappa=(1/(pow(omega_,3.0)))*((fvc::grad(k_))&(fvc::grad(ome  ga_)));
     
    forAll(mesh_.cells(),celli)
    {
        if (kiKappa[celli] > scalar(0.0)) {
             kiKappa[celli] =  ((scalar(680.0)+sqr(kiKappa[celli]))/(scalar(400.0)+sqr(kiKappa[celli])));
          }
        else {
             kiKappa[celli] = scalar(1.0);
        }
     }
     return kiKappa;
}
However, I have not worked extensively with the tmp<>, hence not utterly sure it will work.

No error message from the compiler! Now I can test the model in order to see If it actually works in conformity to my expectations. Thank you very much!

Bad news...the source code is compiled without any error report, but when I try to start a test case (flow around a 2D airfoil at a Reynolds number of about 10^5-10^6) using the simpleFoam incompressible solver, I get the following error message (which for me is quite obscure...):

Here It is the portion of the code containing all the functions correlated with fBetaStar:

// * * * * * * * * * * * * Private Member Functions * * * * * * * * * * * * //

tmp<volScalarField> kOmegaSI::fBetaStar() const
{
volScalarField kiKappa=(1/(pow(omega_,3.0)))*((fvc::grad(k_))&(fvc::grad(ome ga_)));
forAll(mesh_.cells(),celli)
{
if (kiKappa[celli] > scalar(0.0)) {
kiKappa[celli]=((scalar(680.0)+sqr(kiKappa[celli]))/(scalar(400.0)+sqr(kiKappa[celli])));
}
else {
kiKappa[celli]=scalar(1.0);
}
}
return kiKappa;
}

tmp<volScalarField> kOmegaSI::betaStar() const
{
return (Cmu_*fBetaStar());
}

tmp<volScalarField> kOmegaSI::kiOmega() const
{
return (mag((1.0/pow((betaStar()*omega_),3.0))*(((skew(fvc::grad(U_ )))& (skew(fvc::grad(U_))))&&(symm(fvc::grad(U_))))));
}

tmp<volScalarField> kOmegaSI::fBeta() const
{
return ((scalar(1.0)+70.0*kiOmega())/(scalar(1.0)+80.0*kiOmega()));
}

I'll go on trying to understand what all of this actually means....

I just wanted to thank every body here.
I had the same problem. Then i solved it by reading this thread.
Thanks.

I am trying to loop over the full mesh. I tried the posted suggestions. I am using OpenFOAM 1.5 version and 'myinterFoam' solver. I am trying to modify my viscosity through library files. I want to loop over the full mesh to impliment a yield stress condition. when I try to use 'forALL(mesh_.cells(), celli)' it gives compilation errors saying "mesh_ was not declared in this scope". could anybody comment?
