Hi guys! 1st post for me here at CFD-Online.
Great community , great people, thanks!


I'm currently trying to stabilize a simulation that doesn't want to "stay calm" -------- > EXPLOSION



I've a channel duct flow:
  • One inlet, air at 55 [m/s] (massflow = 1.5 [kg/s])
  • Reynolds at the inlet -> Re = 4.5e5
  • Two outlet where I'm imposing just the static pressure
  • Expected Reynolds at 1 of the 2 outlet -> Re= 8e5
  • At the inlet Ma<0.3 but in some inner regions of the domain it is reached and exceeded
  • So I'm using rhoSimpleFoam
  • kEpsilon with wall function
Are there some special BCs to impose to nut, T, p, U, etc. related to internal channel flow (compressible, very high turbulent) that I should use for this kind of problem?


Thanks
Pao

If you know the velocity at one of the two outlets, Why do you impose Neumann BC for velocity?

Hi,

Without additional information it's hard to say why your simulation crashes, so I can suggest some general things to check that might be the cause:

- Does it crash at the first few iterations or at a certain time?
- You could examine the log file, or monitor the residuals (https://doc.cfd.direct/openfoam/user...phs-monitoring) to find out which variable causes the problem (p,T,U etc.).
- Is your mesh fine? Are there any bad cells (use checkMesh)
- How did you calculate the BC for the turbulence model? You can estimate appropriate values e.g. at https://cfd-training.com/turbulent-b...ns-calculator/

Hope that helps, good luck!
