turbulence in compressible cases
Hi all,
I've been having some trouble with understanding the turbulence models in the compressible case, I have a cell that is essentially a cuboid with a central pillar cut out of its central (long) axis, so a slice through it would look like: Code:
side view: So, the solver I've been running is essentially mhdFoam combined with rhoPisofoam, as in the paper by Carlos Xisto (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcp.2014.07.009), so there are magnetic fields applied to generate the velocities. The issue I've been having is that the velocities always diverge: all of the turbulence properties I set in the /0/ folder (k,nut,omega for RAN omegaSST and k,nut for LES) seem to be calculated, so their values immediately starts to decrease from the internalField values I set on the first iteration and turbulence seems to have less of an effect. For the walls I have a kqRWallFunction, nutkWallFunction, omegaWallFunction set for k, nut, and omega respectively, and all have zeroGradient set for the outer patches, with internal fields set to 1e5, 9e-3, 1.11e7 values for the internalField of k,nut,omega respectively. My question is how do I increase the effect of the turbulence on the velocities to damp these instabilities? I don't really understand where to set constants to increase the effect of turbulence since every variable (k,nut,omega) seems to be calculated, should I be setting the outer patches to fixedValue? Should I just increase the viscosity mu in thermophysicalProperties? Thank you. |
