chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam temperature goes to below zero
2 Attachment(s)
Hi Fomers,
I am using chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam to simulate cooling of a rotating disc. The geometry is attached. In a wind tunnel a disc is rotating, temperature of the surface of the disc is higher than the air. Here is the boundary condition and the thermophysicalProperties of air and disc. For air 0/air/T Code:
dimensions [ 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 ]; Code:
dimensions [ 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 ]; Code:
thermoType Code:
thermoType Anyone has any suggestion? Thank! |
Have you checked the pressure and velocity boundary?
I use chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam also and have met the same problem before. After I corrected the pressure boundary, it converged normally. Another reason maybe the schemes you used. Sometimes when I used a not such appropriate scheme, the calculation diverged soon. |
Hello Carye,
Thanks for your suggestion! Would you mind to take a look at my pressure and velocity boundary conditions? Thanks! Here is the pressure for the disc Code:
dimensions [ 1 -1 -2 0 0 0 0 ]; Code:
dimensions [ 1 -1 -2 0 0 0 0 ]; Code:
dimensions [ 1 -1 -2 0 0 0 0 ]; Code:
dimensions [ 0 1 -1 0 0 0 0 ]; |
I'm sorry that I'm not an expert.
But how about set the fixedFluxPressure in the p_rgh as zeroGradient? I remember in my calculation I also tried fixedFluxPressure but it was unstable, so I used zeroGradient and finally got the result. Another is that the p boundary is not used in the chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam because p is calculated from p_rgh. So the pressure boundary will affect the calculation is p_rgh. Hope this may help you. :) |
Hi Carye,
Thanks for your suggestion. I tried with zeroGradient boundary condition for p_rgh, unfortunately it is still not working. I will try with a simpler case now and check if this is caused by cyclicAMI boundary. |
Just one hint... why do you use cyclicAMI if there is no motion?
Furthermore, if you get a few iterations, you can save them and check the results to see what field makes problems and especially at which location. Can you let us know your fvSchemes and solver settings? |
Hi Tobi,
The cyclicAMI is for the nonconformal mesh between the rotating region and the stator region. It is not the source of the problem since I tried without the MRF. In fact, I already solved the problem. There is something wrong with the fvSolution, the pRefCell and pRefValue was set wrong, I changed it a little bit and it works.... Thanks. |
