Hi,
I am new to OpenFOAM.

I am trying to simulate flow through a valve with one inlet and one outlet. I want to look at the outlet mass flow rate and then calculate Cd value for the valve.

The problem is I am getting bounding omega error no matter what I change. The values are large negative numbers - four digit negative numbers.

I am using rhoSimpleFoam

Here are the files

k:
dimensions [0 2 -2 0 0 0 0];

internalField uniform 6.67;

boundaryField
{
egr_valve_inlet
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform 6.67;
}
egr_valve_outlet
{
type zeroGradient;
}
egr_valve_wall
{
type compressible::kqRWallFunction;
value uniform 6.67;
}
}

Omega:
dimensions [0 0 -1 0 0 0 0];

internalField uniform 645.659;

boundaryField
{
egr_valve_inlet
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform 645.659;
}
egr_valve_outlet
{
type zeroGradient;
}
egr_valve_wall
{
type compressible:megaWallFunction;
value uniform 645.659;
}
}

U:
dimensions [0 1 -1 0 0 0 0];

internalField uniform (0 0 0);

boundaryField
{
egr_valve_inlet
{
type pressureInletVelocity;
value uniform (0 0 0);
}

egr_valve_outlet
{
type zeroGradient;
}

egr_valve_wall
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform (0 0 0);
}

}

p:
dimensions [1 -1 -2 0 0 0 0];

internalField uniform 95600;

boundaryField
{
egr_valve_inlet
{
type totalPressure;
U U;

rho rho;
psi none;
gamma 1.4;

}

egr_valve_outlet
{

value uniform 94600;
}

egr_valve_wall
{

}
}

T:

internalField uniform 298;

// possibly check turbulence fields

{
p 0.3;
rho 0.05;
}
equations
{
U 0.7;

}
}

I change tolerances and solvers and i get different answers everytime. The temperature plots are very weird and even if the solution says it is converged, the feilds are changing as i change the time step.

Please help me solve this problem.

Hello,
I would suggest trying simpler solution and then U should go for complex problem as you are a beginner.

I think you should go for a mesh convergence study and please have some reference to see whether your solution is correct or not.


LOL just noticed that this was asked in 2013.
