Hi all,

I am still very new to OpenFOAM. Currently I'm using OpenFOAM 2.2.2 and I've finished doing all of the tutorials given in the user guide. I want to model a basic data center configuration. My supervisor recommended me to base my model on the "hotRoom" tutorial using buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam as the solver.

Initially, I had been able to run the simulation smoothly using just natural convection. Now, I incorporate some cool air raised from the floor in order to introduce forced convection cooling to the room. I met no problem when generating the mesh, but I got problems when I run the code. I have tried to fix it a lot of times, but still end up with the same error messages as follow.

Code:

I have no idea on what is going on. One thing I notice is the very very huge time step continuity errors, and I know that there must be something wrong in my code. However, I have no more idea on how to fix this problem.

Could anybody please help me?? I have attached several files which I think are the main cause of the error.


Kind regards,

Steven

I forgot to clear all of the comments I put inside the files I've attached.
My apologize for that. Just ignore them .

Cheers

akidess will become famous soon enough
Do your inlets and outlets allow for the same mass flow? I.e. are you putting in the same flux as you are taking out?

Hi Anton,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have employed mass continuity equation for the air velocity at inlets and outlets. I set the inlets and outlets to a particular temperature, so that I can determine the density variation and hence the velocity for each of them (the area for inlets and outlets are equal in magnitude). However, I rounded up the value up to 4 significant figures. Does it affect the result and causing error?

Cheers

Hi Himanshu,

Yes, finally I was able to solve the problem. If I'm not mistaken, I either put wrong boundary conditions or several boundary conditions did not suit well to the case I was simulating. However, Anton's suggestion about mass continuity also plays important role to make sure small continuity error.

What are you simulating? Maybe just put more detail about your case since it's hard to guess what's going on just from your post.

Cheers

Recalculate your time step with ref to Courant number, speed and the cell size.

You should be fine. Chose the mesh size based on max U and minimum cell size or vise versa.

And also make sure your meshes are ok. Try to type "checkmesh" in command window and see the results. Last time I got problem because some of my meshes were not properly generated.

Also ensure uniform mesh near the movingWall. Grading of 1 in an interior domain created near the wall. Others can be graded.

Use laplaceFaceDecomposition in you dynamicMesh solver with motionU.
