Temperature in icoFoam
1 Attachment(s)
Hi,
i modified the icoFoam solver to solve the temperature following this wiki:
https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/H...ure_to_icoFoam
I run the cavity example and everything worked.
Now i'm trying to simulate a mixing elbow in which the two flows have different velocities
(I know icoFoam is only laminar but i'm learning this and then i'll move to simpleFoam to account the turbulence)
The simulation runs without errors but the results are incorrect (see attached image)
This is the temperature BC:
Code:
dimensions [0 0 0 1 0 0 0];
internalField uniform 0;
boundaryField
{
wall
{
type zeroGradient;
}
inletSmall
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform 40;
}
inletBig
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform 20;
}
outlet
{
type zeroGradient;
}
}
And this is the modified solver:
Code:
Info<< "Reading transportProperties\n" << endl;
IOdictionary transportProperties
(
IOobject
(
"transportProperties",
runTime.constant(),
mesh,
IOobject::MUST_READ_IF_MODIFIED,
IOobject::NO_WRITE
)
);
dimensionedScalar nu
(
"nu",
dimViscosity,
transportProperties.lookup("nu")
);
dimensionedScalar DT
(
transportProperties.lookup("DT")
);
Info<< "Reading field p\n" << endl;
volScalarField p
(
IOobject
(
"p",
runTime.timeName(),
mesh,
IOobject::MUST_READ,
IOobject::AUTO_WRITE
),
mesh
);
Info<< "Reading field T\n" <<endl;
volScalarField T
(
IOobject
(
"T",
runTime.timeName(),
mesh,
IOobject::MUST_READ,
IOobject::AUTO_WRITE
),
mesh
);
Info<< "Reading field U\n" << endl;
volVectorField U
(
IOobject
(
"U",
runTime.timeName(),
mesh,
IOobject::MUST_READ,
IOobject::AUTO_WRITE
),
mesh
);
#include "createPhi.H"
label pRefCell = 0;
scalar pRefValue = 0.0;
setRefCell(p, mesh.solutionDict().subDict("PISO"), pRefCell, pRefValue);
mesh.setFluxRequired(p.name());
Code:
#include "fvCFD.H"
#include "pisoControl.H"
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

#include "initContinuityErrs.H"
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //
Info<< "\nStarting time loop\n" << endl;
while (runTime.loop())
{
Info<< "Time = " << runTime.timeName() << nl << endl;
#include "CourantNo.H"
// Momentum predictor
fvVectorMatrix UEqn
(
fvm::ddt(U)
+ fvm::div(phi, U)
- fvm::laplacian(nu, U)
);
if (piso.momentumPredictor())
{
solve(UEqn == -fvc::grad(p));
}
// --- PISO loop
while (piso.correct())
{
volScalarField rAU(1.0/UEqn.A());
volVectorField HbyA(constrainHbyA(rAU*UEqn.H(), U, p));
surfaceScalarField phiHbyA
(
"phiHbyA",
fvc::flux(HbyA)
+ fvc::interpolate(rAU)*fvc::ddtCorr(U, phi)
);
adjustPhi(phiHbyA, U, p);
// Update the pressure BCs to ensure flux consistency
constrainPressure(p, U, phiHbyA, rAU);
// Non-orthogonal pressure corrector loop
while (piso.correctNonOrthogonal())
{
// Pressure corrector
fvScalarMatrix pEqn
(
fvm::laplacian(rAU, p) == fvc::div(phiHbyA)
);
pEqn.setReference(pRefCell, pRefValue);
pEqn.solve(mesh.solver(p.select(piso.finalInnerIter())));
if (piso.finalNonOrthogonalIter())
{
phi = phiHbyA - pEqn.flux();
}
}
#include "continuityErrs.H"
U = HbyA - rAU*fvc::grad(p);
U.correctBoundaryConditions();
}
fvScalarMatrix TEqn
(
fvm::ddt(T)
+ fvm::div(phi, T)
- fvm::laplacian(DT, T)
);
TEqn.solve();
runTime.write();
Info<< "ExecutionTime = " << runTime.elapsedCpuTime() << " s"
<< " ClockTime = " << runTime.elapsedClockTime() << " s"
<< nl << endl;
}
Info<< "End\n" << endl;
return 0;
}
Is there something wrong in the solver? Or what?
Thanks! |
