Hello openFOAM users! I am new to openFOAM and also new in this forum.
I am trying to make a simulation of regular waves propagation against an impermeable dike using interFoam but it is more than one month that I am not able to finish my run. I'm using a laminar model. I really hope that someone can help me to understand what i'm doing wrong. I want to modify the tutorial from waveExample using both StokesI and StokesV theories adding an obstacle in stl format that is my dike. I changed the dimensions of the tutorial since I want to simulate a model scale problem. I had several errors with snappyHexMesh but now I think it works well since I don't have any errors and the checkMesh says that everythink is OK. I'm interested in a 2D problem but due to snappyHexMesh errors I had to create a 3D case and I set my lateral faces (front and back) as patch instead of empty and I want to consider them as open sea and not as wall because I remember that with empty type I got several errors but I don't remember what kind of errors they were. I tried to run in parallel on my laptop with 4 processors and also in serial but I my simulations never reach the end of 20 seconds. Now, when I start the run, I don't have any error message but after 2 or 3 days of running I have an explosion of the Courant number and the residuals and I think I've tried everything I understood about OpenFOAM but I still have no results and no any idea about what is going wrong. In the past tests after several iteration I had the error related to floating point but now the solver is running for days but it's blocked on the same time step. I thought it could be a problem related to the boundary conditions but i didn't change them from the tutorial except for the lateral sides and I set my obstacle as wall. Any kind of help is highly appreciated! PS: I'm working on ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS and openFOAM v1812 version. Best regards, Chiara Here it is possible to see my last iterations: Code:

Hi Chiara,
From your explanation I can't immediately see what exactly is wrong, except that your simulation diverges (as you said, the Courant number is blowing up, the time step is close to zero, and the error message you included is what you usually get after a simulation diverges). Some things that you might try are: - adapt the tutorial case you were using without scaling it yet; many of the settings (fvSolution, fvSchemes) depend on the dimensions and velocities of your case. Once you get it to work without scaling, you can take a look at the solver settings - try to keep your mesh 2D (instructions for 2D meshing with SnappyHexMesh can be found here https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/S...rate_2D_meshes). The empty BC only works for 2D geometries (one cell thickness). If you still end up with a 3D geometry, you may need to take a closer look at your boundary conditions, and the thickness of your domain. - start with a smaller time step. Even if you set adjustTimeStep to true, starting with a smaller time step may help Hope this helps, Sita |
