Understanding interFoam

isabel,

gamma.boundaryField().types() imposes on the volScalarField rho the same types of boundary conditions that are specified for the field gamma.

rho.oldTime() stores the values of rho as the old time values

Thank you very much, nikos

Does "rho.oldTime()" store the value at the previous iteration? Why do you need to do that?

nikos_fb16 · November 12, 2009, 07:48

you need to do this, because the time derivative in the momentum equation includes rho. so you need an old time value of rho.

Hi Tomislav,

I am learning the interFoam recently. Hence, it will be a great help with the help of interFoam learning note. Could you please send a copy of the note to my email which is 'linyanx@umich.edu'. Many appreciate in advance!

Hello Jaswi, your message is ages ago, but if you still have those interfoam personal notes, they would really help me as i am working on my MSc thesis, where i am simulating sloshing and i am using interaFoam at the moment. My email is ew838@exeter.ac.uk.
regards,
Elias.
