transient simpleFoam
 

Hello,

I'm looking for a transient simpleFoam solver. I've found a solver called transientSimpleFoam, but unfortunately it doesn't compile in any of my OF Versions. I'm using OF1.6.ext and OF2.0.x. I get stuck at the following error message:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lincompressibleTurbulenceModels
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Is there an OF version that comes with the transientSimpleFoam solver? Or can someone explain to me what steps to take to change the simpleFoam solver into a transientSimpleFoam solver? I'm a bit lost what to do....

Regards
Stefanie

the error is here :
-lincompressibleTurbulenceModels
it can't find this library, library name has been changed, you can omit this library from your "option" file in "Make" folder
then compile it again, if you face the error again, look for whats the equivalent library for this

Greetings to all!

At least in OpenFOAM 2.1, the "s" in the end is a typo. It should be:
@Stefanie: You could have indicated where you found said solver "transientSimpleFoam" :(

Best regards,
Bruno

Greetings to all!

I was curious so I went looking and found this page: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ma...ransientSimple

I tested building the solver with 1.6-ext, 1.7.x, 2.0.x and 2.1.x and it build successfully with all of them. Therefore, I have no clue where you guys got your code from...

I did not test this solver with the case(s) provided in that wiki page, so there's probably some other fixes required as well to the case(s)...

Best regards,
Bruno

Hello Bruno :)


Did you this solver ?

Do you know a tutorial for this solver ?

Could you please upload the system folder for any case, which you ran it with this solver ?

Can I use the solver for OpenFoam 2.2.0 ?

Thx a lot :)

Greetings Amin,

:confused: It was not me who made this solver. I only tested to see if it builds with the more recent versions of OpenFOAM.

If you look at the wiki page: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ma...ransientSimple - you'll see the author's name, the example package and the instructions about the contents of the package and instructions about what you need.

Best regards,
Bruno

Bruno,
Is it possible to compile it in OF5?

Greetings Guilherme,

I've now finished porting the code to OpenFOAM 2.3.x, 2.4.x, OpenFOAM 3.0.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6, instructions provided on the front page of the repository: https://github.com/wyldckat/transientSimple

I've updated the wiki section accordingly: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/M..._get_the_files

Best regards,
Bruno
