Hi,

I am trying to run a simulation using the BuoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam solver in OpenFOAM v-1812. The simulation is of a naturally ventilated building with space on the outside for the external environment.

Currently when I try running BuoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam the simulation is exiting due to an error. The error is as follows:

Code:
-------------------------------------------------------
Primary job  terminated normally, but 1 process returned
a non-zero exit code.. Per user-direction, the job has been aborted.
-------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
mpirun detected that one or more processes exited with non-zero status, thus causing
the job to be terminated. The first process to do so was:

  Process name: [[5190,1],1]
  Exit code:    142
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does anyone have an idea of what might be causing the error and/or how I should go about troubleshooting this?

Any help on this issue would be much appreciated.

Kind regards,
Ben

Hello,

Can you run other cases in parallel (tutorials?).. Doesn't look like a case problem, but some wrong mpi setup or similar..

Also, did you remember to source OpenFOAM?

Cheers,

Thank you Lisandro, for your response.

I have tried running one of my other cases and the windaroundbuildings tutorial case, both run in parallel. Both ran to an endTime of 5000 without any errors.

I tried running my current case not in parallel and the solver stopped at a similar time to the parallel run, but without any error message or convergence message. I have copied the end of the log file below.

Can you explain what you mean by source OpenFOAM?

Kind regards,
Ben

Hi

- The maximum magnitude of the velocity field is nonphysically large. Also, that of epsilon field.
- Could you double-check the mesh metrics? `checkMesh -allGeometry -allTopology`?
- Could you run your case with another turbulence closure model, e.g. omega-based model?

I have also just tried running the k-omegaSST turbulence model instead of k-epsilon. This ran without error past where the k-epsilon model usually failed. Unfortunately I was unable to run the model until convergence as my computer decided to crash several hours in

Here is the end of the log file before my computer died.

Is there a reason why the k-omegaSST model would run without error but the k-epsilon model wont?

Kind regards,

The culprit is the epsilon. There would be lots of reasons, I'm afraid. Please do search web - there should already be lots of insightful remarks about epsilon's numerical fragility.

Good luck.

PS:Might be wise to check with other epsilon-based models, e.g. kepsilonphitf or rngkepsilon. etc.

You could try to under-relax the fields a little bit. The BC's looks fine. This could be a mesh problem, can you share some image of a slice of your mesh?

Also, can you share the fvSchemes and fvSolution files you are using? Did you use the same files for both k-epsilon and kOmega-SST?

Thanks for the replies.

I have been looking into better defining my BC's (especially for k and epsilon) previously they were just taken from tutorials.

As for the fvSolutions and fvSchemes, I have copied them below. For the Omega run I used the same solutions and schemes as this but jut added Omega. For that I copied the Omega relevant parts from the motorbike tutorial. I will try a run with under-relaxing the fields.

Code:
FoamFile
{
    version     2.0;
    format      ascii;
    class       dictionary;
    location    "system";
    object      fvSchemes;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

ddtSchemes
{
    default         steadyState;
}

gradSchemes
{
    default         Gauss linear;
}

divSchemes
{
    default         none;
	
    div(phi,U)      bounded Gauss upwind;
    div(phi,T)      bounded Gauss upwind;
    div(phi,k)      bounded Gauss upwind;
    div(phi,epsilon) bounded Gauss upwind;
	div(phi,CO2) 	bounded Gauss upwind;
    div((nuEff*dev2(T(grad(U))))) Gauss linear;
}

laplacianSchemes
{
    default         Gauss linear corrected;
}

interpolationSchemes
{
    default         linear;
}

snGradSchemes
{
    default         corrected;
}

I have been able to get my model running by adjusting the relaxation factors for epsilon as you suggested. A value of 1 allowed my model to run without errors.

I still need to go back a better define my BC's but at least I have a functioning model for the time being.

Thanks for all the support with this issue.

Regards,
Ben
