Actually, I am using it in the new version of OpenFOAM-1.5, And everthing is fine except paraFoam,
See the message below.

According to your readme instruction, value entry is not needed for onvectiveOutlet b.c., right?

Thanks and regards, Daniel

According to the famous "the first error is the most important" rule, <pre>--> FOAM Warning :
From function dlLibraryTable::open(const fileName& functionLibName)

[lakeat]

Yes, the same error.

Daniel

[7islands]

Can you try to add -lOpenFOAM \ in Make/options and to recompile again?

The addition of -lOpenFOAM in my previous post was the result of what I checked on a Linux64 box after all (and it worked), so please check your installation of your overall OF installation. Looks like addr2line is failing also.

T

[lakeat]

overall OF installation? addr2line is failing! i see.
But How to check? My foamInstallationTest is OK,

huh, maybe I need to recompile the whole OpenFOAM-1.5?

Thank you once again!

[gschaider]

Hi Wei!

The problem "my boundary conditions that I added via 'libs' make my paraview crash" was already discussed in
http://www.cfd-online.com/OpenFOAM_D...tml?1218642042
(there is also a workaround there)

WOW, WOOW, WOOOW, it works now, thank you very much, Bernhard!

Hi all

I tried to implement the GGI from OpenFOAM-1.4.1-dev into OpenFOAM-1.5 by creating a dynamic library. The case mixerGGI was computed fine, even in parallel. Unfortunately I had problems with paraFoam. At the beginning I got the following error:

Does anybody have an idea how this could be fixed or what I did wrong? It would be very nice if I could postprocess the cases directly with paraFoam3.

Thanks,

If anybody wants to take a look at it, here is the lib:

Hi,

Mattijs is asking for help on the ParaView list just now [1] so let's hope someone responds.

[Advertisement] Meanwhile you can try the native reader [2]. It shouldn't have this type of problem as it has no dependence on external libraries.

Hi Takuya

The native reader seems to be a very interesting alternative. I can't test it right now but I will try it in the next days.

Thanks a lot

Hi Foam'ers,

I hope i was not to late to join the discussion.

Currently i was doing simulation of flow over a square (2-D) at Re = 150, low Mach number. I defined the outlet as convectiveOutlet and i was using convectiveOtlet lib that Takuya coded(thanks Takayu).

Here are my uncertainty about the results

1) the unsteady aerodynamics forces (Cl and Cd) showing 'zig-zag' line instead of smooth line of sinus distribution'




2)the vortex contour at the outlet showing a group of extra vorticity.



3) during my simulation, the Courant number slowly increase and no sign to decrease.

Anyone have any idea what actually happens to my simulation.

Thank you

Two words of advice first:

a) Stop spamming the forum with repeated questions. If you are posting with attachments for the first time, use the "test" thread[1].

b) Search the forum for similar queries first.


From what you have described, it is clear that your problem setup is either wrong or bad (e.g. garbage mesh or too restrictive a choice of time/space discretization).

First run checkMesh on your geometry and ensure that you are using a decent (preferably conformal) mesh featuring local refinement in regions of strong pressure/velocity gradients (usually near [but not limited to] walls). For the case of a square cylinder in a rectangular/square channel you should preferably use a mesh featuring zero skewness and zero non-orthogonality.

Next, take a sample problem and validate the lift and drag coefficients quantitatively. Try the problem with a traditional constant pressure outlet B/C. Increase the length of the domain if you have to. Search the posts carefully. I have already done this.

If you still see a sharp sawtooth-like profile for lift and/or drag coefficients, check your time discretization. Switch to the backward scheme if you are not already using it.

And finally, it does not get said enough: Please try and make sure that the maximum courant number does NOT exceed 0.25. 1.0 is just a rough upper limit. If you need accuracy in time, you will need to keep the maximum Courant number low. Read Hrv's thesis (Search the forum to figure out where it is). He has shown the effect of max. Courant number on time-accuracy graphically.

Thank you for your advice pU|,

A newbie like me always make a lot of mistakes for the first time. Sorry about that.

I have done a few simulation on the same grid size but different time discretization scheme and outlet boundary condition. On that simulation i used Euler scheme and constant pressure outlet B/C. The results seem good and no sawtooth-like profile.

After i changed the time discretization into full Crank-Nicholson scheme, and outlet B/C into convectiveOutlet B/C, the liftAndDrag vs time showing sinus distribution but the lines between the points were not smooth (zig-zag).

It is because of the convectiveOutlet library?

Thank you
