Hello foamers,
I am using pisoFoam to model a wind tunnel case, wind blowing on a small building model, both internal and external flow are modelled. Now I am having convergence problem for this LES calculation. My mesh check results are show below (part I), I modified the les pitzDaily case for this. The calculation started ok, with Courant Number mean about 0.0021, relatively stable; Max: about 0.5, changes can be from 0.25 to 0.6 normally. Time step is 0.00001s. However, after certain timesteps, the max Courant number starts increasing gradually, after another 100 timesteps or so, all of sudden, increased to a ridiculously big number and the calculation stopped (part II shows a few time step histories). My fvScheme and fvSolution are the same as the example. Can anyone suggest me how I should manage the convergence or give me some hints where the underlying problem might be? Your comments would be much appreciated, thank you. Regards Forrest ----------------- part I start -------------------- Checking geometry...

That was long time ago and I haven't been working with openfoam for more than a year. If I remember correctly, the problem might have been the mesh, after conversion (I have to make the mesh using ICEM, save it as 'fluent' format, then convert using the tool provided by openfoam), something went wrong although the mesh checking wasn't able to pick up.
Sorry for not being helpful on this, good luck! Forrest |

Hi foamers,
I'm running a case of a steady flow around a foil (NACA 312 66) in 2D. I've some issues with the simpleFoam solver with k omega SST turbulence model. The calculation does not stop but values are totally false. So I try to run the case with pisoFoam and I've this error message Time = 0.0001 Courant Number mean: 0.456197 max: 236.765 DILUPBiCG: Solving for Ux, Initial residual = 1, Final residual = 3.42308e-07, No Iterations 3 DILUPBiCG: Solving for Uy, Initial residual = 1, Final residual = 5.55072e-06, No Iterations 2 DICPCG: Solving for p, Initial residual = 1, Final residual = 0.092087, No Iterations 304 time step continuity errors : sum local = 5.94242e-06, global = 5.46953e-08, cumulative = 5.46953e-08 DICPCG: Solving for p, Initial residual = 0.116726, Final residual = 9.73547e-07, No Iterations 432 time step continuity errors : sum local = 1.10727e-09, global = -3.54505e-12, cumulative = 5.46917e-08 #0 Foam::error:rintStack(Foam::Ostream&) in "/usr/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/lib/linux64GccDPOpt/libOpenFOAM.so" #1 Foam::sigFpe::sigFpeHandler(int) in "/usr/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/lib/linux64GccDPOpt/libOpenFOAM.so" #2 __restore_rt at sigaction.c:0 #3 Foam::LimitedScheme<double, Foam::limitedLinearLimiter<Foam::NVDTVD>, Foam::limitFuncs::magSqr>::limiter(Foam::Geometric Field<double, Foam::fvPatchField, Foam::volMesh> const&) const in "/usr/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/lib/linux64GccDPOpt/libfiniteVolume.so" #4 Foam::limitedSurfaceInterpolationScheme<double>::w eights(Foam::GeometricField<double, Foam::fvPatchField, Foam::volMesh> const&) const in "/usr/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/lib/linux64GccDPOpt/libfiniteVolume.so" #5 Foam::fv::gaussConvectionScheme<double>::fvmDiv(Fo am::GeometricField<double, Foam::fvsPatchField, Foam::surfaceMesh> const&, Foam::GeometricField<double, Foam::fvPatchField, Foam::volMesh>&) const in "/usr/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/lib/linux64GccDPOpt/libfiniteVolume.so" #6 Foam::tmp<Foam::fvMatrix<double> > Foam::fvm::div<double>(Foam::GeometricField<double , Foam::fvsPatchField, Foam::surfaceMesh> const&, Foam::GeometricField<double, Foam::fvPatchField, Foam::volMesh>&, Foam::word const&) in "/usr/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/lib/linux64GccDPOpt/libincompressibleRASModels.so" #7 Foam::tmp<Foam::fvMatrix<double> > Foam::fvm::div<double>(Foam::GeometricField<double , Foam::fvsPatchField, Foam::surfaceMesh> const&, Foam::GeometricField<double, Foam::fvPatchField, Foam::volMesh>&) in "/usr/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/lib/linux64GccDPOpt/libincompressibleRASModels.so" #8 Foam::incompressible::RASModels::kOmegaSST::correc t() in "/usr/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/lib/linux64GccDPOpt/libincompressibleRASModels.so" #9 main in "/usr/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/applications/bin/linux64GccDPOpt/pisoFoam" #10 __libc_start_main in "/lib64/libc.so.6" #11 Foam::regIOobject::writeObject(Foam::IOstream::str eamFormat, Foam::IOstream::versionNumber, Foam::IOstream::compressionType) const in "/usr/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/applications/bin/linux64GccDPOpt/pisoFoam" Can you help me ?? I've run exactly the same case with simpleFoam and Spalart Allmaras and the results were quite good, but I need the results with K omega SST turbulence model to validate the case ! Thanks in advance ! MA |
