Hello,
I'm trying to use pisoFoam on a test case. This is just a box (1m³) in a flow of 24m/s. I want use a k-epsilon model, transient, incompressible, turbulent. But there is an error and pisoFoam stop calculation : Code:
#0 Foam::error::printStack(Foam::Ostream&) in "/opt/openfoam201/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib/libOpenFOAM.so" #1 Foam::sigFpe::sigHandler(int) in "/opt/openfoam201/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib/libOpenFOAM.so" #2 in "/lib/libc.so.6" #3 Foam::DILUPreconditioner::calcReciprocalD(Foam::Field<double>&, Foam::lduMatrix const&) in "/opt/openfoam201/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib/libOpenFOAM.so" #4 Foam::DILUPreconditioner::DILUPreconditioner(Foam::lduMatrix::solver const&, Foam::dictionary const&) in "/opt/openfoam201/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib/libOpenFOAM.so" #5 Foam::lduMatrix::preconditioner::addasymMatrixConstructorToTable<Foam::DILUPreconditioner>::New(Foam::lduMatrix::solver const&, Foam::dictionary const&) in "/opt/openfoam201/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib/libOpenFOAM.so" #6 Foam::lduMatrix::preconditioner::New(Foam::lduMatrix::solver const&, Foam::dictionary const&) in "/opt/openfoam201/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib/libOpenFOAM.so" #7 Foam::PBiCG::solve(Foam::Field<double>&, Foam::Field<double> const&, unsigned char) const in "/opt/openfoam201/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib/libOpenFOAM.so" #8 in "/opt/openfoam201/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/bin/pisoFoam" #9 in "/opt/openfoam201/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/bin/pisoFoam" #10 in "/opt/openfoam201/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/bin/pisoFoam" #11 __libc_start_main in "/lib/libc.so.6" #12 in "/opt/openfoam201/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/bin/pisoFoam" Exception en point flottant The 0 folder is 0.tar.gz. The system folder is system.tar.gz The properties files are Properties.tar.gz And the boundaries boundary.tar.gz When I execute checkMesh, it's ok. I tried to unset the FOAM_SIGFPE in etc/bashrc but nothing change. I'm not sure of my initial conditions for R, epsilon and k. I don't know which values I need to put, so I let the default values from the tutorial. I don't know if it's can provide from the mesh that I need to refine. I'm waiting your answers. Thanks |

Hi there,
What are you trying to set up? Your BCs seem a bit strange. If you would like to have a flow inlet on the left and outflow on the right, you probably want to specify U at the inlet, have inletOutlet for U at the outlet, have p zeroGradient at the inlet, and fix p at, say, 0 at the outlet. have a look at $FOAM_TUTORIALS/incompressible/pisoFoam/les/pitzDaily for some inspiration. and can be modelled as (have a look at the User Guide): , where is turbulent intensity (guestimate can be e.g. 0.02 or 0.05), and , where and is a characteristic length scale (e.g. 20% of channel inlet diameter). From $FOAM_TUTORIALS/incompressible/pisoFoam/les/pitzDaily you can see that e.g. 0/U has the following for the inlet: Code:
inlet { type turbulentInlet; referenceField uniform (10 0 0); // main flow U fluctuationScale (0.02 0.01 0.01); // I in x, y, and z direction value uniform (10 0 0); }

Thank you for your answer, I have changed my BC but it doesn't work, could you say me if everything is ok.
0/epsilon : Code:
dimensions [0 2 -3 0 0 0 0]; internalField uniform 0.04571; boundaryField { AvtArr { type empty; } HautBas { type fixedValue; value uniform 0.04571; } Sortie { type fixedValue; value uniform 0.04571; } Entree { type fixedValue; value uniform 0.04571; } Objet { type epsilonWallFunction; value uniform 0.04571; } } Code:
internalField uniform 0.0864; boundaryField { AvtArr { type empty; } HautBas { type fixedValue; value uniform 0.0864; } Sortie { type fixedValue; value uniform 0.0864; } Entree { type fixedValue; value uniform 0.0864; } Objet { type kqRWallFunction; value uniform 0.0864; } } Code:
internalField uniform 0; boundaryField { Entree { type zeroGradient; } Sortie { type fixedValue; value uniform 0; } Objet { type zeroGradient; } HautBas { type zeroGradient; } AvtArr { type empty; } } Code:
internalField uniform (0 0 0); boundaryField { Entree { type turbulentInlet; referenceField uniform (24 0 0); // main flow U fluctuationScale (0.01 0.01 0.01); // I in x, y, and z direction value uniform (24 0 0); } Sortie { type inletOutlet; inletValue uniform (0 0 0); value uniform (0 0 0); } Objet { type fixedValue; value uniform (0 0 0); } HautBas { type freestream; freestreamValue uniform (0 0 0); } AvtArr { type empty; } } |

Ok, what is the error you get?
I noticed that your mesh is 3D. Do you want your domain to be a thin 3D slice, or do you want 2D? In OpenFOAM the 2D mesh will be one cell thick, looking like 3D, but I don't think you need to do that in your meshing tool. The mesh converter will take care of that. Another thing is what you want to do. What kind of simulation are you interested in? What are the boundaries? For example, if HautBas are your lower and upper walls, you probably want to set something like fixedValue (0 0 0) there for velocity ...

You are using pisoFoam, so that means you want to do LES? What turbulence model are you using? I see that k and epsilon go unbounded. Is that you subgrid model, or are you using RAS properties with and LES solver? Also, I see that you fix k everywhere, which is neither physical, nor stable. Can you perhaps upload the case, so I can have a look?

Perhaps it is worth checking out $FOAM_TUTORIALS//incompressible/pimpleFoam/TJunction. It is a RAS kEpsilon case with inlet and outlets, using pimpleFoam. Can you use your mesh with that case (with the correct boundary names etc)?

Thank you.
I have resolved my problem see this http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...rror-gamg.html I put in fvSolution : nCorrectors to 3 and relTol to 0 for p. |

Hi all
I had a same problem (Floating point exception) when running pisoFoam for a RAS simulation Floating point exception means that you have division by zero somewhere in your solution especially for k or e (see the k-e equations, they appear in the denominator somewhere! ). check your 0 folder and instead of giving zero for the initial values of k or e, give a very small number (e.g.1e-20) It worked for me! If it didn't work, as already Dbutant mentioned above, follow the instructions in the following post pisoFoam floating point error - GAMG for changing your system folder parameters. Best Wishes |
