Boundary condition for non newtonian flow (need to solve a differential equation)
Hi,
I am now to use non-newtonian boundary inlet condition for my pipe. But as I notice that: As the velocity profile is not pure parabolic shape. I need to solve the following equation p+(1/r)*(d/dr)*[r(A+(A-B)/(1+K*(dV/dr))*dV/dr]=0 Can anyone tell me how to put this equation as boundary condition. Really stuck with it. Please give me some hind on details. |
Hi,
I never used such a BC, but I would solve your equation externaly (with Matlab) on a face equally like your's and the try to map these solution witch mapFields. I guess that it also should be possible to map the solution directly by a list of points. Good luck. wWW |

It worth a try by using directMapped. For this static case, if I can successfully export data in same format directMapped accept, that will do. But what I actually want to do it to implement more complex function that velocity change will time and location. I am not sure directMapped can not manipulate that kind of thing. So I still need to solve an equation that U is a variable inside. Do you have any idea to build a new boundary condition that can solve equations? Cheers! |
For a boundary condition changing with time and space you should be able to use groovyBC

Thank for replying. groovyBC is a very powerful tool. But it lack a function I need to implement my velocity. My velocity is dependent on time and locatation. It is like something u(r,t)= real(i*exp(i*w)* Bessel(i*t)) where i is complex number and w is constant. Bessel is the Bessel function that can resolve complex number( This is not conclude in the OpenFOAM). I think the only way to do is to import a math libarary that can resolve Bessel(i*t). That why I want to implement a new boundary in fvPatchfield. Cheers! |

Imag(e^(i w) (i t)^n t^-n I_n(t)) with I_n being the modified Bessel function. That shouldn't be to hard to get to a pure "real" form (especially if n=0) |
