MixerGgi with additional movement of the inner ring in a Taylor-Couette-System
 

Hello Foamers,


I created a new motion solver based on the motion solver “mixerGgiFvMesh”. The result is a rotating inner ring which also moves horizontally or vertically.


Therefor I rewrote the last lines of the source code of mixerGgiFvMesh:

//-points of the moving par:
pointField p = motionPtr_->newPoints();





//-moves the origin of the rotating part in the same way, like the inner ring moves:
if (time().timeIndex()==1)
{

# include "initMotion.H"

}
else
{

# include "calcMotion.H"

point& orgn=csPtr_().origin();
orgn=sIst_;

}
Info<<"origin"<<cs().origin()<<endl;


//-Rotational speed needs to be converted from rpm
p=csPtr_->globalPosition
(

csPtr_->localPosition(p)
+ vector(0, rpm_*360.0*time().deltaT().value()/60.0, 0)
*movingPointsMask()

);






fvMesh::movePoints(p);



//-Move points, returns volumes swept by faces in motion

return false;

Then I added a pointMotionU-file with the mesh-motion-boundary-conditions and everything seems to be fine for small cases on a single cpu-core. For bigger cases I wanted to use decomposePar, but every time I got an error message like this:

When I erase the pointMotionU-file then decomposePar runs till the end. With this fact and the text of the line “Initializing the GGI interpolator between master/shadow patches: insideSlider/outsideSlider” I come to the conclusion that the ggi-routines don't work with pointMotionU.
What can I do to solve this problem?


Awaiting for replies!
