equationOfState icoTabulated error

carl_r · October 23, 2020, 14:03

I'm trying to implement temperature-dependent density in chtMultiRegionFoam, in the openFoam foundation version V8.

In the user guide I found:
https://cfd.direct/openfoam/user-gui...36-2730007.1.5

Code:

7.1.5 Equation of state
icoTabulated
Tabulated data for an incompressible fluid using (T, ρ) value pairs, e.g.  
rho ( (200 1010) (400 980) );

I see this is a new feature in V8.

When I implement this in my model I get one of the below errors (depending on whether the regions is fluid or solid thermotype)

I read this that there are no valid thermophysical properties using equationOfState = icoTabulated. Is this correct? Is there a way to implement temperature-dependent density using icoTabulated.

The material is incompressible, it can be fluid or solid depending on the specific model.

Code:

This looks like you have some syntax errors in your thermophysicalProperties file. Look around for examples/tutorials using icoPolynomial for equation of state and start from there.

Hello Carl ,

Have you solved it? I think I am facing the same issue, I am really appreciate if you can help to present the right thermalProerties file.

mikulo · March 14, 2022, 06:05

Hey,

you can use only what is written on the list for heSolidThermo and heRhoThermo, say for e.g.

thermoType
{
type heRhoThermo;
mixture pureMixture;
transport const;
thermo hConst;
equationOfState perfectGas;
specie specie;
energy sensibleEnthalpy;
}

and for solid

thermoType
{
type heSolidThermo;
mixture pureMixture;
transport constIso;
thermo eConst;
equationOfState rhoConst;
specie specie;
energy sensibleInternalEnergy;
}

your mistake is just simple a wrong combination..

for this... you have combined solid and liquid thermo properties dictionary, which is really wrong.

thermoType
{
type heSolidThermo;
mixture pureMixture;
transport constIso;
thermo eConst;
equationOfState icoTabulated { rho ( ( 0 1010 ) ( 350 1000 ) ( 800 980 ) ) ; };
specie specie;
energy sensibleInternalEnergy;
}

change to,

thermoType
{
type heRhoThermo;
mixture pureMixture;
transport const;
thermo eConst;
equationOfState icoTabulated;
specie specie;
energy sensibleInternalEnergy;
}

at thermophysicalProperties dictionary..

...

mixture
{

equationOfState
{
rho ( ( 0 1010 ) ( 350 1000 ) ( 800 980 ) ) ;
}

}
