Hello dearest community,

well, i'm trying to run the old well know problem of a rotating cylinder in a static (closed) domain. After looking at different options for this problem i tried to use the ggi of version 1.5-dev.
However the simulation does not run, but stops with a floating point exception. The output is:

Basicly i kept the setup in the way it is described by http://www.openfoamworkshop.org/2009/4th_Workshop/4_Mesh_Generation_and_Handling/OFW4_2009_Jasak_slides.pdf
. The output suggests, it could be something with the turbulence model (k-omega SST). However if i turn it off in the RASproperties, there is no change.

Hello, Bernd !
Did you check non-rotating case ?
If you could run the case by turbFoam, setting for GGI might be OK
and the problem would be setting for dynamicMesh.

Hello,

Not enough information.

Please specify the Svn revision number of your local 1.5-dev source code working copy.

Please enable the FOAM_ABORT env. variable so we can see the stack trace dump when your error occurs.

Hi,

Now looking at the output i posted, i found that, even if i set the turbulence in RASproperties to off, the k-omega SST was chosen.
So i set it now to laminar. This did make a change - however this still doesn't work. I get:
Unknown GAMGInterface type ggi.
Valid GAMGInterface types are :
2
(
cyclic
processor
)

Obviously i do have to change the schemes as well. However i will need the turbulence model ...

O.k.! Using PCG instead of GAMG as solver works (laminar). So only the problem using the k-omega SST remains ...

Yes, as this is the case - here are the initial conditions for the turbulence:

Code:
boundaryField
{

    OUTFLOW
    {
        type            inletOutlet;
        inletValue      $internalField;
        value           $internalField;
    }

    GEOM
    {
        type            zeroGradient;
    }

    INFLOW
    {
        type            fixedValue;
        value           $internalField;
    }

    CYLINDER2
    {
        type            ggi;
    }

    CYLINDER
    {
        type            ggi;
    }

}
and the values for the $internalField are:
turbulentKE 0.24;
turbulentOmega 1.78;

1: your version of OF-1.5-dev is too old. Many bug fixes have been contributed since then, including improvements to the GGI interfaces.

2: From your stack trace information, we can see that your case is crashing because of a division by zero in the method KOmegaSST::F2() when evaluating a patch field. Go check the list of fields being used for division in that method, and check your boundary fields dictionnary definitions or your kOmegaSST parameters.

Hi,

well, downloading the new version did not solve the problem directly - but the error messages were a lot better! Thus i could resolve this problem (got new ones, but new problem should get new threads).

Thanx

Hi Bernd,

Is it possible you share your solution? I am experiencing a similar problem using 1.5-dev from August 19. I try to run a simulation of a two-stroke engine, but the simulation can only start if I select laminar as turbulence 'model'. All other RANS models I tried fails with the same output:

Code:
Reading field U

Reading/calculating face flux field phi

Creating turbulence model

Selecting RAS turbulence model kEpsilon
Floating point exception
I've tried setting all patches to 0, 1e-10 and 'zeroGradient' and internally I use epsilon=0.000765 m2/s3 and k=3.5 m2/s2. I tried a few solvers, which works with the same settings on k and epsion for other cases but without dynamic meshes, and there it works. It seems to me that it is the sliding interfaces which fails. (For this case I don't use GGI). If you or anyone have any idea how to solve this, I would be very happy!

Regards,
Kalle

Hi Kalle,

well, the solution was rather simple: First there was a spelling error in the boundary file. Afterwards there was another similar error. So it was really simple.
The point was to set FOAM_ABORT (for detailed error messages) and use a new version. Due to the new version i actually got the error output that told me what's wrong.
So always try to use new versions!
I'm now at subversion number 1816 and 1817

Hi,

Thanks for your reply!

The only thing I could find out from the full error message was that there was a floating point exception as the kEpsilon object was created (if I understood it right). Since all fields seemed reasonable, including p and T, I did the classical way: Start with something that works and add things until the error appears. It turned out to be that viscosity was set to zero in the thermophysicalProperties. Having that fixed, it works fine! One should be careful to be too quick when setting up test cases by copying files from various tutorials

Regards,
Kalle

I realized that there is something wrong with blockMesh, too, since it is not able to create the arc edges of the mesh.
I compiled OpenFOAM 1.5-dev again because I thought the errors were a result of an incorrect compiling process, but the problem stays the same.
The system compiler was used (gcc4.5.0) and the OS is OpenSUSE 11.3.

Thanks in advance!

I attached the log of Allwmake:
