Using a Different Thermodynamics Package with the chtMultiRegionFoam Solver
 
Hello and thanks in advance!

I am attempting to model liquid water flowing through a steel pipe using the chtMultiRegionFoam solver. Everything is going rather well except for one issue: the thermodynamics package I selected is not valid for the solver.

I modified the hPsiThermos.C and basicMixtures.C files, but the solver still does not recognize the thermodynamics package. I probably need to modify one or two more files, but I can't figure out which ones.

The following files are thermophysicalProperties, hPsiThermos.C, basicMixtures.C, and log.chtMultiRegionFoam, respectively:

thermophysicalProperties

I was using the wrong executable that had not been changed. I'll update my status once I resolve this error.

VdG July 8, 2010 08:33

Hello Matt,

did you manage to get the solver running? I am trying to do the same thing: have an incompressible liquid in one part of the domain and a compressible gas in the other part. I tried to change the solver using the modifications you mention, but it doesn't compile:

basicMixtures.C:97: error: type/value mismatch at argument 1 in template parameter list for ‘template<class equationOfState> class Foam::hConstThermo’

Any help is appreciated.

marval October 21, 2010 07:25

Any succes Matt?

I just need water for my simulation but don't know how to change the thermohysicalProperties file.

m.nichols19 October 21, 2010 17:33

Hello marval,

I regretfully did not.

Here is a link to my completed project if that is of any assistance:

best regards,

In the 1.7.x version, the chtMultiRegionFoam and chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam have recently been modified to use hRhoThermo, which allows icoPolynomial equation of state and thus simulation of liquid flows.

hey!!
i was solving a two phase vof problem using hRhoThermo and encountered a similar error.... did you get past the error?? i am in a pinch as i cannot understand the error message!!
please help me out!!!
thanks!

Hello all, I've downloaded the add-ons and modifications from the link posted above and compiled them for OF 1.7.1: till now I've only made a simple test case with an aluminium pipe containing water (chtMultiRegionFoam), but all seem to work perfectly...

Regards
