I have been trying to learn simulation of sediment transport problems. I came to know about SedFoam but I am not sure if it works on OpenFoam 5.0 or not?
Currently i am interested in simulation of bedload in river flows (open channel flow).
If anybody with knowledge on such simulations please let me know which solver can i start with.
Thank you in advance.

Hi there
The solver driftFluxFoam is about sedimentation (using the drift flux method).

See .../tutorials/muliphase/driftFluxFoam about examples!

Basically, this is the same solver as the settlingFoam in the older version of openfoam.

There is a phd theses out there in the web, which is about this solver by Daniel Brennan: "The numerical simulation of two-phase flows in settling tanks". If you google this, you should find it.

good luck
J.

Thank you Jon for your reply.
I will go through the thesis and the tutorials. Seems like it can be used for bedload transport but I have to find out if it is possible to simulate the bed changes also.

If you are talking about https://github.com/SedFoam/sedfoam i think there is no problem in order to adapt the solver to OpenFoam 5.0 (the official version has been validated with the 2.4.0 version of OpenFoam but we have successfuly adapted the code to the 4.1 version)

However the best is perhaps to work together
Don't hesitate to contact me

Hi!

I'm testing models implemented into sedFoam. Could you please publish modified code that compatible with OF 4.1. If it not possible for some reasons, please post basic instructions for modification of initial source code.

Thank you

With best regards,
Yaroslav

Hi Yaroslav,

do you think a sedfoam version compatible with OF 5.0 and OFplus 1712 is ok for you?

Hi cyss38
Did you get your answer please notify me, i want to simulate scouring problem in sedfoam but unable to install in openfoam 5.0 in ubuntu 17.10
Thanks and regard

Hi everyone,

A new sedFoam version much more stable and compatible openfoam 5.0 and v1806 is just now useable : https://github.com/SedFoam/sedfoam
Moreover we have more advanced turbulence models. We will publish them soon (we have 2 papers in preparation and so we are waiting submission before full push in github).

Please note that the compatibility with the new openfoam version (6.0) is straightforward (just comment and uncomment a line in sedFoam.C as explained in sedFoam.C file)

Sir,
I'm trying to install sedfoam with foam-extend-4 in ubuntu 16.04 with the help of the instructions given in

http://servforge.legi.grenoble-inp.f...c_unix_foamext

I couldn't do the first step in the installation instructions that to add a tailored fixedFluxPressureFvPatchScalarField class.
Can anyone help me out in solving this?

[cyss38]

sedfoam no longer supports the foam-extend version.
We recommend using either the version of openfoam.org or the version of openfoam.com

I am new to install sedFoam. Have you installed sedFoam on your computer well? Would you like to share some about installation of sedFoam? I am so appreciated. I am preparing to simulate the scour downstream of small scale dam. So can we talk about this topic?

Hello,
Thank you for your interest in sedfoam. :-)
sedfoam supports all esi and foundation versions.
Which version of openfoam did you install?

Concerning sedfoam install, it is straightforward. Just follow the instructions of the README: https://github.com/sedfoam/sedfoam


To resume :
git clone https://github.com/sedfoam/sedfoam sedfoam
cd sedfoam
./Allwclean
./Allwmake

Hi,

I have problems with the installation. I use OF v1812 on Windows10 Linux Bash.
When I run "./Allwmake", I get error messages (attached), and the installation fails.
What can be the problem?

...I'm quite dumb in Linux

Thank you in advance!

Hello GrivalszkiP,


We did not try to use sedfoam and Windows 10, but your problem is similar to this one: Error in compiling new solver in openfoam 1706



This is not a problem of the sedfoam solver, but rather a problem related to openfoam and windows bash


I think you can test to install make via "sudo apt-get install build-essential" but I'm not sure it solves your problem ...



Keep us in touch,

Thank you for the quick answer!
Unfortunately it didn't work...

Does anybody have any idea?

[cyss38]

Still the same error message?

Yes, exactly the same

[cyss38]

what is the output of "sudo apt-get install build-essential" and of "make"?

[mohammedtareq]

hi i am trying to install sedFOAM but i faced problem during installation i have openFOAM 5(i updated OF4.1 to OF 5)



when i write in console ( source $FOAM_ETC/bashrc # load the openfoam environment)
and then (./Allwmake)
its run without problem but at the end this errors appear





/opt/openfoam5/wmake/makefiles/general:140: recipe for target '/home/mohammed/OpenFOAM/mohammed-5.0/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/bin/sedFoam_rbghMULES' failed
