BC settings to expand pressure on atmosphere - simpleFoam / totalPressure
Hi Foamers,
I have a problem with the definition of boundary conditions.
I'm running a relativly easy case - standard backward facing step - with simpleFoam (kepsilon turbulence model) to compare the OF results with some other calculations.
At the inlet I have a velocity of 6,02 m/s and at the outlet I want the pressure to expand to normal atmospheric pressure (101325 Pa). My problem is, that I don't realy know, how to set the correct conditions for the inlet/outlet.
At the moment I have for U
Quote:
inlet
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform (6.02 0 0);
}
outlet
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform (0 0 0);
}
wall
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform (0 0 0);
}
|
and for p
Quote:
inlet
{
type zeroGradient;
}
outlet
{type fixedValue;
value uniform 0;
}
wall
{
type zeroGradient;
}
|
My boundarys are
Quote:
inlet
{
type patch;
physicalType inlet;
}
outlet
{
type patch;
physicalType outlet;
}

With these settings, the simulation runs fine, but it's not exactly what I need.
I tried totalPressure with these settings - wall stays the same:
for p
Quote:
inlet
{
type totalPressure;
p0 uniform 1.01325e+05;
U U;
phi phi;
rho none;
psi none;
gamma 1.4;
}
outlet
{
type totalPressure;
p0 uniform 1.01325e+05;
U U;
phi phi;
rho none;
psi none;
gamma 1.4;
}

for U
Quote:
inlet
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform (6.02 0 0);
}
outlet
{
type zeroGradient;
}

But then the simulation crashes after a few steps:

It's clear, that bounding k and epsilon diverge, but I don't understand why. With the first settings, I get fine results.
How do I have to specify the correct BC for the velocity/pressure for my case?
I would realy appreciate your help!
Regards,
Erik

This is epsilon
