Hello ppl,

I am new to OPENFOAM and i learning it through the tutorials .. I wish i could program by myself for different kind of flow problems .

In DSMCFOAM solver tutorials , for wedge15

// Wall Interaction Model
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WallInteractionModel MaxwellianThermal;

// Binary Collision Model
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BinaryCollisionModel LarsenBorgnakkeVariableHardSphere;

LarsenBorgnakkeVariableHardSphereCoeffs
{
Tref 300;
relaxationCollisionNumber 5.0;
}

If i wanted to change this model to Hard sphere model , what should i do ? ,

Also if i wanted to change the wall interaction model , what should i do ?

I understand that i should program the necessary model in the solver folder inside the installation directory ???

It will be great if some one help me out in this ..

Thanks

Hi archeoptyrx !

First of all, you should look at the other submodels that are already implemented for dsmcFoam, they are in the $FOAM_SRC/lagrangian/dsmc/submodels folder.

If one of them suits you, just change the entry in your dmscProperties dictionnary, for instance :

Code:
WallInteractionModel SpecularReflection;
(and add the required options)

If you really need to add a new model, it will be more complicated.
See the following tutorial that can give you a few hints :

Good luck on that,
Sylvain

Yes I got it . But how do i find the constants that has to be included with this ? .. eg

Binary collison model LArsonbarognke .......

{
what i should include here ? . How do i find the constants for this model ?
}
Is it same from the G A Bird book ??? Should i happen to give all the constants that is specified for this model in the book ??

Thanks for the help

Hi,

As I said, you should take a look at the submodel's source code located in the folder :

"$FOAM_SRC/lagrangian/dsmc/submodels/"

For instance, for your specific example : if you look at the "LarsenBorgnakkeVariableHardSphere.C" source file, you will notice these lines in the constructor of this class :

Code:
template <class CloudType>
Foam::LarsenBorgnakkeVariableHardSphere<CloudType>::
LarsenBorgnakkeVariableHardSphere
(
    const dictionary& dict,
    CloudType& cloud
)
:
    BinaryCollisionModel<CloudType>(dict, cloud, typeName),
    Tref_(readScalar(this->coeffDict().lookup("Tref"))),
    relaxationCollisionNumber_
    (
        readScalar(this->coeffDict().lookup("relaxationCollisionNumber"))
    )
{}
As you can see, you will need to provide "Tref" and "relaxationCollisionNumber" entries in the coeff dictionary.

I hope it will help, do not hesitate to look inside the source code and/or to run cases and analyse the output errors.

Sylvain
