Hello FOAMers,
currently I am implementing a temperature-dependant viscosity model, to be concise, the Carreau-WLF-Model, for polymer melts. It is very similiar to a Cross-WLF-model. (See equations 2.29 and 2.32 in this preview for more details: http://files.hanser.de/hanser/docs/2..._Leseprobe.pdf) I have referred to the following materials: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...time-loop.html http://www.tfd.chalmers.se/~hani/kur...nFoam%20v2.pdf http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...mperature.html Given the fact that the equation is - while not complex - rather long, I tried to split it up across several lines. See this snippet from GermanCarreau.C. Code:
// * * * * * * * * * * * * Private Member Functions * * * * * * * * * * * * // Foam::tmp<Foam::volScalarField> Foam::viscosityModels::GermanCarreau::calcNu() const { const volScalarField& Tcurrent=U_.mesh().lookupObject<volScalarField>("T"); Foam::dimensionedScalar Tsp1 = Te_+scalar(50); Foam::dimensionedScalar termA = (scalar(8.86)*(Tmeasure_ - Tsp1)) / (scalar(101.6)+(Tmeasure_ -Tsp1)); Foam::dimensionedScalar termB = (scalar(8.86)*(Tcurrent - Tsp1)) / (scalar(101.6)+(Tcurrent -Tsp1)); Foam::dimensionedScalar alpha_shift = pow(scalar(10), (termA - termB)); Foam::dimensionedScalar eta_shifted = ( (alpha_shift*A_) / (pow (eta_shifted*scalar(1)*strainRate()*B_, C_) )); return (eta_shifted/rho_.value() ); } Code:
viscosityModels/GermanCarreau/GermanCarreau.C:58:82: error: conversion from ‘Foam::tmp<Foam::DimensionedField<double, Foam::volMesh> >’ to non-scalar type ‘Foam::dimensionedScalar {aka Foam::dimensioned<double>}’ requested Foam::dimensionedScalar termB = (scalar(8.86)*(Tcurrent.internalField() - Tsp1)) / (scalar(101.6)+(Tcurrent.internalField() -Tsp1)); ^ viscosityModels/GermanCarreau/GermanCarreau.C:60:58: error: conversion from ‘Foam::tmp<Foam::GeometricField<double, Foam::fvPatchField, Foam::volMesh> >’ to non-scalar type ‘Foam::dimensionedScalar {aka Foam::dimensioned<double>}’ requested Foam::dimensionedScalar eta_shifted = ( (alpha_shift*A_) / (pow (eta_shifted*scalar(1)*strainRate()*B_, C_) )); ^ viscosityModels/GermanCarreau/GermanCarreau.C:62:24: error: could not convert ‘Foam::operator/(const Foam::dimensioned<Type>&, const Foam::dimensioned<double>&) [with Type = double](Foam::dimensioned<double>((* &((const Foam::viscosityModels::GermanCarreau*)this)->Foam::viscosityModels::GermanCarreau::rho_.Foam::dimensioned<Type>::value<double>())))’ from ‘Foam::dimensioned<double>’ to ‘Foam::tmp<Foam::GeometricField<double, Foam::fvPatchField, Foam::volMesh> >’ return (eta_shifted/rho_.value() ^ viscosityModels/GermanCarreau/GermanCarreau.C: In constructor ‘Foam::viscosityModels::GermanCarreau::GermanCarreau(const Foam::word&, const Foam::dictionary&, const volVectorField&, const surfaceScalarField&)’: viscosityModels/GermanCarreau/GermanCarreau.C:81:5: error: class ‘Foam::viscosityModels::GermanCarreau’ does not have any field named ‘GermanCarreauCoeffs_’ GermanCarreauCoeffs_(viscosityProperties.subDict(typeName + "Coeffs")), ^ viscosityModels/GermanCarreau/GermanCarreau.C:82:22: error: ‘GermanCarreauCoeffs_’ was not declared in this scope A_("A", dimless, GermanCarreauCoeffs_), ^ viscosityModels/GermanCarreau/GermanCarreau.C:83:21: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘GermanCarreauCoeffs_’ B_("B", dimless GermanCarreauCoeffs_), As far as I understand, the transport equation is evaluated for each point in the flow field - so how would I go about describing my temporary variables in terms of OpenFOAM data types? How would you approach such a problem? Is my approach of compartmentalizing the equation fundamentally sound? Can you point to a implented transport model that utilizes a very long formula in a similar manner? Thank you very much! Attached, you'll find GermanCarreau.C and GermanCarreau.H: GermanCarreau.C Code:

Hello,
in Line 58 you try to compute a dimensionedScalar with a formula containing a volScalarField. This is equivalent to compute a scalar directly from a vector. You can compute the magnitude of the vector or the inner product to gain a scalar, but otherwise you won't get a scalar out of a vector. The same logic applies to scalar fields. Code:
Foam::dimensionedScalar termB = (scalar(8.86)*(Tcurrent - Tsp1)) / (scalar(101.6)+(Tcurrent -Tsp1)); |

First off: Thank you a lot for your very useful feedback, Gerhard.
There is - however - a simple question remaining: As far as I understand, the viscosity model is evaluated for each point the flow channel. Otherwise, shear thinning [that is, the reduction of the kinematic viscosity nu in areas of high shear rate] could not be observed. How would I modify Code:
const volScalarField& Tcurrent=U_.mesh().lookupObject<volScalarField>("T");{ Thanks again! |

If the variables termB, alpha_shift and eta_shifted are volScalarFields, then your formula is automatically evaluated for all cells of the mesh. There is no need to change the expression for Tcurrent.

Hello Foamers, in the end I did manage to make it work. I used a hack described here:
http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post595370 so I could avoid having to manually create new volScalarFields. Also, I left out the calculation of Tstandard. Now, Ts is defined in the transportProperties file. A short test revealed that the results are accurate to within ca. 10%, which I blame on shear heating and my godawful mesh. Attached you'll find the compileable files GermanCarreau.C and GermanCarreau.H. However, the material model only runs with a non-isothermal solver such as the one found here: http://www.dhcae-tools.com/docs/visousHeatingSolver.pdf I hope you'll find my results useful! Code:

Hello everyone,
I have seen some tutorials on how to modify the (incompressible) viscosity models (Powerlaw, Casson, etc.) to make them temperature dependent. I am trying to modify a compressible thermo physical model, such as Sutherland model (for viscosity) which depends on Pressure and Temperature, but not on the strainRate. The strainRate() is directly available for incompressible viscosityModels, but it is not available for compressible thermo physical model, such as Sutherland. Does any body know how to make the Sutherland model strainRate dependent? in addition to the Pressure and Temperature dependency?. I am using OpenFoam 5.x in Windows by BlueCFD. Thanks in advanced |

Dear malv,
while I'm not certain that it's going to work in the compressible flow model, you might try to calculate the strain rate directly from the flow field. See this useful thread: StrainRate definition 141 vs 15 which eventually arrives at: Code:
strainrate= sqrt(2) * mag(symm(fvc::grad(U))) |
