Hi everybody!
I would like to propose you a problem that i'm trying to solve, but for now unsuccessfully. I have a tank and i want to simulate the first refilling phase of it. The tank is pressurized at 3 bar of any gas, like air or helium: at the bottom of the tank there is the inlet surface where i want to introduce a liquid, with a decided flow rate and pressure (the pressure is 1.5 higher than the gas pressure). At the top instead there is another outlet surface where the gas is sucked in order to hold the tank pressure on. At first sight it would be recommended a compressible multiphase solver, but for now it hasn't been developed yet. I have tried to run the incompressible multiphase solver but it crashes almost immediately. Do you know if this simulation is possible in OpenFoam? Have you got any suggestions to give? Thank you all Bye |
