About mixingPlane GGI in OpenFoam-1.5-dev
 

Hello everybody, I am interesting of "rotorStatorInterfaces" in "trunk/Breeder_1.5/OSIG/TurboMachinery" and I download source code from

http://openfoam-extend.svn.sourcefor...urboMachinery/

When I try to use mixingPlane GGI (which is developed by Mr.Franz Blaim.)in my case, I meet an Error :

Starting time loop
Time = 1e-05
Courant Number mean: 0 max: 0.0217673 velocity magnitude: 0.4
PBiCG: Solving for Ux, Initial residual = 0, Final residual = 0, No Iterations 0
PBiCG: Solving for Uy, Initial residual = 0, Final residual = 0, No Iterations 0
PBiCG: Solving for Uz, Initial residual = 1, Final residual = 5.41447e-10, No Iterations 1
Segmentation fault

Sometimes the calculate can go on , but still have Error:

Time = 1e-05
Courant Number mean: 0 max: 0.00195361 velocity magnitude: 0.4

Can anybody give me suggestion with it ?

And is there any new version mixingPlane GGI for the OpenFOAM-1.6-dev ?

Thanks!

Try to initialize your velocity field with something small, i think the prob is that it makes massflow averaging for the velocities at the mixingplane and when that is zero it crashes.

p.s. are you using MRFSimpleFoam for that btw?

Hello Zheng,

I am also interested in using the mixingPlaneGGI for my impeller/diffuser stage case.

Following on the problem you had in the first post - did you manage to solve your problem in the end?

Also, please excuse me for throwing in a different topic but how did you manage to compile the mixingPlaneGGI?

I have followed all the steps included in the instructions given (including the GGIInterpolation folder etc.). Howerver, I get the following error message while trying to compile (- using "wmake libso"):

Could you kindly shed some light on the error?

Also, do you use OF-1.5-dev? The reason I ask this is because in the "CompilingHowTO.txt" it refers to the 1.4 version.


Many thanks,

Sunny
