Hello,
Actually I am trying to run a Fluent Generated Mesh case using MRFSimpleFoam (my application is impeller in a tank with baffles very similar to mixerVessel2D but the outer cylinder's dimension is bigger than the inner one). But when I try to compile it, I am getting the following errors (very similar to the one that has been reported in this discussion forum): /*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*\ | ========= | | | \ / F ield | OpenFOAM: The Open Source CFD Toolbox | | \ / O peration | Version: 1.4.1 | | \ / A nd | Web: http://www.openfoam.org | | \/ M anipulation | | \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ Exec : MRFSimpleFoam ./ impeller Date : Jun 12 2008 Time : 15:43:01 Host : linux-02 PID : 18936 Root : /home/ang/OpenFOAM/ang-1.4.1/run/tutorials/MRFSimpleFoam/ Case : impeller Nprocs : 1 Create time Create mesh for time = 0 Reading field p Reading field U Reading/calculating face flux field phi Selecting incompressible transport model Newtonian Selecting turbulence model laminar --> FOAM FATAL ERROR : cannot find MRF patch rotor From function Foam::MRFZone::MRFZone(const fvMesh& , const dictionary&) in file cfdTools/general/MRF/MRFZone.C at line 86.

It would be great if I can get help to run this case successfully. Thanks. Anand |
Hi everybody!

Hi everybody!
I will validate my case with MRFsimpleFoam, but I get a strange. I have one nonOrthogonal element... I added the gravity force in the solver but the result still very bad. The same mesh work good with Fluent6.3. you find my case here and thanks for your help. |

Hi Danielle,

Hi Danielle,
I've downloaded your case and the only thing that I can object is that although you ask for kEpsilon turbulence model, you set turbulence off. In my opinion, this is why you get an asymmetric velocity distribution in your solution. If you set turbulence on, then this is how the solution looks after 400 iterations: http://www.cfd-online.com/OpenFOAM_D...ges/1/9614.jpg I hope this is helpful, Dragos |

Hello again Danielle,
It is very strange that it diverges so fast. It still runs on my computer even after 2800 iterations: http://www.cfd-online.com/OpenFOAM_D...ges/1/9619.jpg I'm using OpenFOAM-1.4.1-dev. What are you using? Maybe after I finish all the 5000 iterations I will put it on the wiki as a nice example... if you agree. Dragos |

Hello again Dragos,
In the first it's a good idea to put this case on the wiki as a example :-) I'm using OpenFOAM-1.4.1 and OpenFOAM-1.5 download from the http://www.opencfd.co.uk/openfoam/download.html what do you mean by -dev ?? is it another version ? how can get it ? NB: I like the stream line !! I can't do it. |
Now I try to recompile the ve
Now I try to recompile the version 1.4.1-dev. It cost a lot of time ...
Can you tel me what's the difference for the MRF implementation between this version and 1.5. It's very strange that my case diverge with 1.4.1 and 1.5 but not with 1.4.1-dev as mentionned above by Dragos??? Thanks |
Hello Danielle,
I'm not aware
Hello Danielle,
I'm not aware of any difference in the MRFSimpleFoam solver, between those versions. However, I did some small modifications to your setup files. One for instance is switching on the turbulence in constant/turbublenceProperties. Some other are in system/fvSolution. All the differences in the fvSolution file come from the fact that in OpenFOAM-1.4.1-dev there are no implicit defined values (according to Hrv), so you have to specify all the necessary options. This is why I got a running case and you didn't. I tried the 1.4.1 version with your case, but having this fvSolution instead: http://www.cfd-online.com/OpenFOAM_D...hment_icon.gif fvSolution It worked at least the first 18 iterations without any problems. I hope this is helpful, Dragos |

Hi Dragos,
with the same modification it run only the 4 iterations and diverge. if I mahke turbulence off it work but the result is very bad !! I hope to resolve this problem!
