Second order upwinding scheme in OpenFoam

subash · May 13, 2010, 06:11

Hi,

I followed the instructions given in the userguide to run the tutorial problem(lid driven cavity flow) using a linearupwind(after modifiying the actual linear scheme for interpolation) scheme but the run gets killed with the following message "attempt to read beyond EOF". Can anyone let me know what this means and help me to implement the second order upwind scheme.

Hi there,

The following should work:

Code:

div(phi,U)      Gauss linearUpwind Gauss;

Regards,
Jose Santos

hello !

is there a difference between "Gauss linearUpwind Gauss" and "Gauss linearUpwind Gauss linear" ? do you know how it works ?

thanks a lot !

Gauss linearUpwind Gauss does not work...

I believe the correct syntax is

Code:

Gauss linearUpwind phi

It needs the phi (flux) field to decided which direction is 'upwind' of the cell in question and generate the linear operators accordingly.
