Mapping (interpolation) between two meshes

Hello,
I have a Eulerian-Lagrangian coupled solver with particles. I use two meshes in the simulation, a fine mesh and a coarse one and I need to transfer particles between the two meshes during the solution. I have faced an issue for lagrangian interpolation in parallel simulation and I will be thankful if someone can help me with that. Here is the problem description: To do the interpolation between the two grids, I've used the same functions that are implemented in mapFields / mapFieldsPar. The major difference between the interpolation function of mapFieldsPar and the revised one in my solver is in the lagrangian interpolation part. In mapFieldsPar the particle clouds (here passiveParticleCloud) are constructed by reading the cloud directories (objects) in the case time directory, but in my solver the particle clouds (both source and target) are constructed in the solver main loop (as I need the particle data during the solution before they are written in the time directories). Everything works fine for serial case. Even in the parallel case the Eulerian fields (e.g. velocity, pressure, etc) are interpolated correctly. But just for lagrangian interpolation of particles in parallel, I cannot get the right result. It seems that the host cell of the particle in the target mesh cannot be found in the function (in mapLagrangian.C): Code:
autoPtr<passiveParticle> newPtr ( new passiveParticle ( meshTarget, targetCc[targetCells[i]], targetCells[i] ) ); (When I forced the decomposition to be the same in both meshes, the interpolation works fine, but I cannot do such a decomposition in general case of unstructured meshes, I think.) I'm wondering how mapFields can do parallel interpolations for Eulerian field values but not for lagrangian particles. Thank you in advance /Ebrahim |

For those who may find this post interesting:
I finally decided to use the approach mentioned in this link: Mapping Lagrangian particles |

Hi Ebrahim
I am currently working on the two mesh method for the particle combustion simulation in the Eular-Lagrangian frame. I am new to Openfoam, and I don't know how to add the mapFields / mapFieldsPar function to the solver, so could you please give me more information on the following issues: 1. What is the process of data exchange between the Lagrangian phase and gas phase in the coarse and fine meshes in your solver? (Which gas phase properties (coarse mesh or fine mesh) are used as the input for the Lagrangian phase model? and to which gas phase (in coarse mesh or fine mesh) is the source phase generated by the particles transferred? ) 2. Which part of codes in mapFields / mapFieldsPar are added in the solver? and where should it be added in the solver? Thank you in advance Jiarui |
