Hi

I'm working on a Airfoil model in OpenFoam and it is required to Implement 4 new turbulence models.

I also trying to follow this tutorial (page 11 and 12)
http://www.tfd.chalmers.se/~hani/kur...ort_task_3.pdf

but I found it a little complicated as the commands style is a bit different and not easy to follow as I am new to the OpenFoam and terminal things.



could someone provide me an easy a step by step way to implement a new turbulence model???




many Thanks,
Salim

Which OpenFOAM version?

I use Openfoam 2.3 version currently

and this is my case files before running the simpleFoam:

Firstly, you really should spend a little time learning to use the terminal. I recommend going through the lesson at http://swcarpentry.github.io/shell-novice/

After that, the tutorial report you linked should work if you follow it step-by-step.

I have been working on the airfoil case
and I got this so far
http://www.tfd.chalmers.se/~hani/kur...bedi/files.tgz

I have been facing an issue which is when I try to run a simpleFoam to the my_airfoil_alpha1 file case it appears an error message saying that Unknown RASModel type mySpalartAllmaras..

I guess that I should add new turbulence model!!

but How ????


please help me I am stuck

You need to add your new turbulence models library to system/controlDict so OpenFOAM will know where to find the compiled code.

So, following the tutorial, you will need in controlDict:

libs ("libmyIncompressibleRASModels.so");

I already have done that...(you can check the link http://www.tfd.chalmers.se/~hani/kur...bedi/files.tgz)


but I got errors when I am trying to compile the turbulence models
after I execute the command ( wmake )





the error appears in the red colour for all 4 cases which are: mySpalartAllmaras ,
myZoneSpalartAllmaras,
myAlphaPdcSpalartAllmaras, myPdcSpalartAllmaras




and this appears at the bottom of the message after executing (wmake ) command in the terminal
