Question surface tracking model

waynezw0618 · February 5, 2009, 13:27

Hi

is there any exapple of surface tracking model can solve both bubble or droplet problem?i meaan something like 2-zone FVM flow solver, a FEM mesh motion solver and a finite area solver doing the surfactant transport,to calculated the flow in inner ,outer and surface of droplet or bubble.

i find some similar thing in Hrv`s presentation of free surface flow.but there is no example.

does anyone could give me some advices?

Wayne,
It is in the development version of the code. Check on sourceforge.
-DPS

Hi David.
i am using 1.5-dev now.but i donot know which is the solver of that?

i mean some thing like http://powerlab.fsb.hr/ped/kturbo/Op...clean-mesh.mpg

Hi Wayne

Look in this directory. The solver "surfactantFoam" does at least use the FAM-routine.

~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5-dev/applications/solvers/surfaceTracking

Have fun,

Niels

Hi there,

today I installed and compiled the 1.5-dev.
The main reason therefore was the FAM. But unfortunately I am not able to execute the tutorial "sphereTransport" due to the error

Cannot find file "faceLabels" in directory "constant/faMesh".

What do I have to write into faceLabels? Or how can I produce the file "faceLabels"?

Solved it already with:

Best,
Andreas

The command you should execute is "makeFaMesh" (or something similar, is not at a OF-machine).
I believe you can find the command in the Allrun file in the directory.

Best regards,

Niels

Hi,

I am interested in thin liquid film flow simulation in OpenFOAM and eventually use this together with Lagrangian discrete particle tracking. I read (http://www.openfoamworkshop.org/2009...sak_slides.pdf) I wonder if this "OpenFOAM liquid ﬁlm solver" has been implemented into OF 1.6.x? if not where can I found it (in the openfoam-extend?).

I would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance!

Hi again,

Anyone that has done liquid film simulations using FAM method in openFOAM?
