Transonic and compressible case with chtMultiRegion-Solver
1 Attachment(s)
Hello all,
I would like to analyze the cooling of a plunger in a steady-state simulation. The plunger is cooled by air. The air enters the system at 4.5 bar (absolute pressure) and leaves at atmospheric pressure. On the outside of the plunger, a heat flow is specified that increases linearly from the top to the bottom of the plunger. The attached picture shows a quarter of the geometry. The air flows into the system from the right, leaves the cooling tube via the small cooling holes. Then flows along between the cooling tube and the plunger and leaves the system again via the larger holes. The mesh was created with Salome and checkMesh shows that this is OK. I would like to compare my results with similar simulations done with Ansys. In both cases tetrahedral meshes are/were used. My problem is that the solution does not converge, but terminates prematurely due to negative temperatures. I have uploaded my case at the following link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pkq7ketpc...QbAeYKJAa?dl=0 Reducing the relaxation factors does lead to a slight improvement in the convergence behavior, but the simulation terminates here as well. What else could I test out to get the simulation to work? Thanks a lot for your help in advance. With kind regards erebos23 |
I have checked my boundary conditions once with a compressible fluid, here the calculation also runs quite normally. However, when I switch to a compressible fluid, the simulation stops after a certain time at a pressure difference of 0.15 bar due to negative temperatures.
Do I probably have a mistake in the definition of the boundary conditions? I use the following boundary conditions for the fluid: Code:

Maybe the problem is with the mesh
I suffered from the same problem, with negative temperatures, while using rhoCentralFoam for supersonic flows. The answer was either a too-coarse or a too fine mesh. Find an optimized mesh resolution and try again.
