Landslide Simulation

rafiee.ad · March 30, 2017, 13:50

Hello,

I want to simulate the effect of landslide motion on stratified reservoir and obtain the velocity field on vertical direction (2D vertical) by using openfoam,
I would be so grateful if you would tell me which solver in openfoam is appropriate for this simulation?

Best regards,

Quick answer: Depends on whether the "land" is gravel based (particles that are released) or a single block (predefined shape or at least predefined shapes).

The solver interDyMFoam is possibly what you looking for (can simulate 2 phases of fluids, e.g. air and water). See and run the tutorials inside the sub-folder "multiphase/interDyMFoam" for that solver. I would say that the tutorial case "damBreakWithObstacle" is the closest there is in there to your case, although I believe the obstacle is a solid object.

Thank you very much for your kind attention.
The land is a single solid box.

Quick answer: Sorry, I only remembered a few days later that the "damBreakWithObstacle" tutorial does not have a solid object. The tutorial in that folder that does have a solid object is the one named "floatingObject".

hi all,
I wonder do you successed simulating the case that you want to do, because I am trying to do the same thing as you. If you make it work, can you advise me how to do it.

The thing I am doing now is trying to simulate a box slide down with a slope (5 degree),and to see it sliding into water and to see how the water being reaction, and I am using olaDyMFlow solver basically same as interDymFoam solver. And I am trapping with the geometry and mesh problem and without any idea, just keeping try and error for such a long time,and feel a little helpless, so come here for help.

best regards to all,

James
