conjugateHeatFoam: Problems adding 3rd region
Has anybody tried to modify the conjugateHeatFoam solver for 3 regions? My case will compile but at runtime I get a "floating point" error as soon as I try to add my third equation to the solver.
For testing purposes my problem is very basic, just a simple laplacian in 1D and I can solve this using the conjugateHeatFoam solver with 2 regions but I can't split this up into 3 regions. The part of my code that doesn't seem to be working is when I add the third region: Code:
coupledFvScalarMatrix C1Eqns(3); Code:
Create mesh for time = 0 |
I was able to fix this. It was a problem with my mesh.

Hi Benk
What solver is that? I´m working with OpenFOAM-1.6 and I don´t have it. The only solver for conjugate heat transfer I have is chtMultiRegionFoam. And, is it valid to work with liquids? Thankyou very much David |
It's called the conjugateHeatFoam solver which is only in the -dev releases (I'm using 1.5-dev). Technologically, I think it's better than chtMultiRegionFoam since it puts all coupled equations into a single matrix (therefore 1 matrix inversion instead of, say, 3). It's also a bit easier to setup than chtMultiRegionFoam.
More info on it can be found here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...-openfoam.html As far as it being able to handle liquids, you just have to add the appropriate PDEs. |
Hi Benk
Thankyou very much for your answer. Sorry but I don´t have any knowledge of OpenFOAM programming. Is possible to run that solver in the 1.6 versión, or I have to install de -dev version? And when you say "add de PDEs" you mean that I have to rewrite the solver? Thankyou very much again David |

As an asside, this is where I wish OpenFoam would be a bit more clear. I'm using the conjugateHeatFoam "solver" for things that are totally unrelated to heat transport, so why is it that the application mode and the solver have the same name? This solver should really be called something like "multi region coupled matrix solver" and the application that it was orginally intended for was conjugateHeatFoam. But only in very rare cases will there be a model that fits exactly your needs without you having to modify the equations. |
