I want to solve the Navier-Stokes eq. for incompressible laminar regime and I have chosen the icoFoam solver. I am surprise that in the transportProperties file, only the viscosity is required, and the density??
Thanks Amalia |

That's correct.
The viscosity is the kinematic viscosity (equals dynamic viscosity divided by the density); same for the pressure. This way, you only need the viscosity. Enjoy, Hrv

I have run icoFoam and one gets information about the Max. Courant number in the output. For the first time step is around 1, but for the next time steps becomes larger and larger. What does it mean? Does it mean that the cell size of the mesh and velocities do not match?
Thanks Amalia |

Have you tried with a smaller time step? Have you tried running with upwind? It sounds like either your case is not setup correctly or it is unstable with a Courant number as large as 1, you will have to play around to fix it.

hello,
I want to couple the equation of energy and the equations of Navie-Stokes in icoFoam and I want to add the appriximations of Boussinesq only in the direction of Z (push of archiméde). my problem it is that icoFoam gives the solution of the following equation: UEqu=-grad p and me I want that only in the direction of Z, the component speed (w) must depend on grad p and gB(T-Tref). T: is has temperature do you have an idea to add this term in the velocity equation on Z direction? thank's |

Hi chafi fatima zohra,
I would recommend to take a look into rhoSimpleFoam, there is in principal what you want, but restricted to steady state solutions. With help of or some terms from buoyantFoam one should be able to construct the needed solver. |

Hi chafi fatima zohra,
me again. Forget my former post. It was wrong, I'm sorry. rhoSimpleFoam is also for compressible flows. Marcus |

hi chafi fatima zohra,
i want to create a new solver for incompressible, laminar flow with boussinesq approximation. so i have combined "icoFoam" and "buoyantFoam". i have compiled my code successfully, but when i want to calculate an example i get the following error: --> FOAM FATAL ERROR : request for volScalarField rho from objectRegistry region0 failed available objects of type volScalarField are . Did you have the same mistake? Which models do you use? |

Hi,
I was trying to modify icoFoam solver to be able to also solve wall shear stresses for flow in pipes (laminar flow ofcourse) but am failing. would you please give me some ideas on building the code and compilation files and run it from FoamX. Please give me an example along side to look at. Best regards. |

You might want to have a look at the postProcessing/stressComponents utility to find out about the coding.

Hi,
Still stack with solver compilation. I was looking at one example on a built configuration file. what does the code instance "/export/warhol/chris/.foam/apps/FoamX/User/applications/biscuitFoam "; mean. I was tried to follow the same so I edited it to "/export/home/valentine/.foam/apps/FoamX/User/applications/wallShearFoam "; but its still not working. Please help. |

phi term in icoFoam

Hello,
I have a concern regarding the phi term in icoFoam. I know its definition is: phi=rho*U, rho being the density. In the icoFoam solver, a simplification is made, as there is no "rho" in the transient term, which makes sense since we consider an incompressible problem. The problem is that if we make this simplification in a classic momentum equation from Navier Stokes system, there should not be any "rho" in the convective term, but simply "U" (velocity) instead of phi ( div(U, U) ). My question is: what does OpenFOAM consider in this phi term ? Here is the momentum equation solved in icoFoam: Code:
fvVectorMatrix UEqn ( fvm::ddt(U) // transient term + fvm::div(phi, U) // convective term - fvm::laplacian(nu, U) // viscosity ); solve(UEqn == -fvc::grad(p)); |

Hi,
in incompressible solvers, where the momentum equation is divided by rho (constant), phi is defined as Code:
surfaceScalarField phi ( IOobject ( "phi", runTime.timeName(), mesh, IOobject::READ_IF_PRESENT, IOobject::AUTO_WRITE ), linearInterpolate(U) & mesh.Sf() ); Best,

Alright, thank you!
I checked the compressible cases, and that all makes sense now. |
