Hello FOAMers,
i just wanted to set up a new simulation an user the following schemes:
Quote:
divSchemes
{
default none;
div(phi,U) Gauss linearUpwindV cellLimited Gauss linear 1;
div(phi,k) Gauss linearUpwind cellLimited Gauss linear 1;
div(phi,epsilon) Gauss linearUpwind cellLimited Gauss linear 1;
div(phi,R) Gauss linearUpwind cellLimited Gauss linear 1;
div(nonlinearStress) Gauss linearUpwind cellLimited Gauss linear 1;
div(R) Gauss linearUpwind cellLimited Gauss linear 1;
div(phi,nuTilda) Gauss linearUpwind cellLimited Gauss linear 1;
div((nuEff*dev(T(grad(U))))) Gauss linearUpwind cellLimited Gauss linear 1;
}
but i ended up with the following message:

Is there a new name for the linearUpwind scheme or has it been removed? I am quite new to OpenFOAM so maybe i made a mistake myself. Can Anyone help me?

Greeting,s
André

Does nobody have the same Problem?

Hello there,

i played around with the fvSchemes for a while and ended up with the following settings, that are working for me.

Quote:
gradSchemes
{
default cellLimited Gauss linear 1;
}

divSchemes
{
default none;
div(phi,U) Gauss linearUpwindV default;
div(phi,k) Gauss linearUpwind default;
div(phi,epsilon) Gauss linearUpwind default;
div(phi,omega) Gauss linearUpwind default;
div(R) Gauss linear;
div((nuEff*dev(T(grad(U))))) Gauss linear;
}
Can somebody have a look at the divschemes? As far as i understood OpenFOAM 2.0.1 checks for an gradShemes right behind the definition "Gauss linearUpwind" . Is it correct to set the "default" value here, so that it uses the "cellLimited Gauss linear 1" -scheme, defined in gradSchemes?

as mentioned before, the calculation is running fine and the results look good too.

Greetings,
André

In OF-2 I use linearUpwind(V) in this way:

div(phi,U) Gauss linearUpwindV grad(U);
dib(phi,k) Gauss linearUpwind grad(k);

and so on.

Cheers

Hello,

could someome tell me what the meaning of this grad(U) in the div(phi,U) discretization is?
Thanks

It tells you which gradient scheme to use for the gradient part of the LUD discretisation. The specific gradient scheme is defined in the gradSchemes section. So you do not have to use "grad(U)", you can use anything you like as long as it is defined in the gradSchemes section. E.g.

gradSchemes
{
blahblahblah Gauss linear;
}

divSchemes
{
div(phi,U) Gauss linearUpwindV blahblahblah;
}

should work just fine. In all cases things like "div(phi,U)" and "grad(U)" are just identifiers, thy have no special structure or significance outside this.

Thanks for the answer eugene.

now arise two questions:
1.so it should be the same as the gradient in the implicit field in the div-term?
2. what happens then if i dont specify this: just like div(phi,U) Gauss linear?

thanks a lot

1. As far as I know there is no fixed rule about the nature of the gradient portion of a LUD scheme. Its not like pressure and velocity flux interpolation that has to be consistent.
2. If you don't specify anything at all, the code should crash (or maybe not, I haven't checked). If you specify something with no match in the gradScemes section, it should use the "default" gradScheme entry without complaint. If no default entry is present, it should exit with an error.
