Hi all,

I am interested in a coupling interface between OpenFOAM and a OpenSource 1D combustion code. For this I have OpenWOM in mind (http://www.cmt.upv.es/OpenWam.aspx). My focus is on coupled 1D-3D ICE simulations.
I know there has been a OpenFOAM-GT-Power coupling but is there something else?

Thanks

If OpenWOM have user-defined functions or something similar, then you can couple it with OpenFOAM with functionObjects of fvOptiosn - depending on what you want to do exactly

I have taken a look into the recent sources:
https://github.com/CMT-UPV/OpenWAM

It has some kind of preparation since similar things have already been done for Fluent as described here:
https://riunet.upv.es/bitstream/hand...sisUPV3883.pdf

I will keep you posted.

If you will propose simple example of interaction between OpenFOAM and OpenWAM, i can help you with functionObject and fvOptions implementation

What do you mean with simple example? Basically I want to do two things:

• exchange wall temperature from OpenWAM to OpenFOAM to calculate solid temperatures of engine head and block of transient temperature cycles
• Exchang epressure velocity an species at boundary conditions to combine 1D and 3D, eg. run exhaust system in 3D and get transient BCs from ObenWAM in 1D.

These are simiar examples that are already available in the OpenFOAM-GTPower coupling. My second point is also described in my second link above, including an FLUENT UDF.

Hi,
sorry for the long delay

• exchange wall temperature from OpenWAM to OpenFOAM to calculate solid temperatures of engine head and block of transient temperature cycles
• Exchang epressure velocity an species at boundary conditions to combine 1D and 3D, eg. run exhaust system in 3D and get transient BCs from ObenWAM in 1D.

It is a good practice to create a simple geometry case for example, for circular pipe which can exchange heat with external wall. Pipe is modelled with OW, wall is modelled with OF.

My second point is also described in my second link above, including an FLUENT UDF

I found too many letters by this link.
Maybe it will be much faster to make simple exchange of mass/heat between OF and OW. And only next step can consist of understanding how different people solve similar such problems.
