Provides the additional compression necessary to ensure interface integrity
adjacent to a boundary at a low angle of incidence to the interface. This is
particularly important when simulating planing hulls.
This tutorial demonstrates moving mesh and AMI with a Lagrangian cloud.
It is very slow, as interaction lists (required to compute collisions)
are not optimised for moving meshes. The simulation time has therefore
been made very short, so that it finishes in a reasonable time. The
mixer only completes a small fraction of a rotation in this time. This
is still sufficient to test tracking and collisions in the presence of
AMI and mesh motion.
In order to generate a convincing animation, however, the end time must
be increased and the simulation run for a number of days.
terms of the local barycentric coordinates of the current tetrahedron,
rather than the global coordinate system.
Barycentric tracking works on any mesh, irrespective of mesh quality.
Particles do not get "lost", and tracking does not require ad-hoc
"corrections" or "rescues" to function robustly, because the calculation
of particle-face intersections is unambiguous and reproducible, even at
small angles of incidence.
Each particle position is defined by topology (i.e. the decomposed tet
cell it is in) and geometry (i.e. where it is in the cell). No search
operations are needed on restart or reconstruct, unlike when particle
positions are stored in the global coordinate system.
The particle positions file now contains particles' local coordinates
and topology, rather than the global coordinates and cell. This change
to the output format is not backwards compatible. Existing cases with
Lagrangian data will not restart, but they will still run from time
zero without any modification. This change was necessary in order to
guarantee that the loaded particle is valid, and therefore
fundamentally prevent "loss" and "search-failure" type bugs (e.g.,
2517, 2442, 2286, 1836, 1461, 1341, 1097).
The tracking functions have also been converted to function in terms
of displacement, rather than end position. This helps remove floating
point error issues, particularly towards the end of a tracking step.
Wall bounded streamlines have been removed. The implementation proved
incompatible with the new tracking algorithm. ParaView has a surface
LIC plugin which provides equivalent, or better, functionality.
Additionally, bug report <https://bugs.openfoam.org/view.php?id=2517>
is resolved by this change.
By specifying the optional outside surface emissivity radiative heat transfer to
the ambient conditions is enabled. The far-field is assumed to have an
emissivity of 1 but this could be made an optional input in the future if
needed.
Relaxation of the surface temperature is now provided via the optional
"relaxation" which aids stability of steady-state runs with strong radiative
coupling to the boundary.
except turbulence and lagrangian which will also be updated shortly.
For example in the nonNewtonianIcoFoam offsetCylinder tutorial the viscosity
model coefficients may be specified in the corresponding "<type>Coeffs"
sub-dictionary:
transportModel CrossPowerLaw;
CrossPowerLawCoeffs
{
nu0 [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 0.01;
nuInf [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 10;
m [0 0 1 0 0 0 0] 0.4;
n [0 0 0 0 0 0 0] 3;
}
BirdCarreauCoeffs
{
nu0 [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 1e-06;
nuInf [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 1e-06;
k [0 0 1 0 0 0 0] 0;
n [0 0 0 0 0 0 0] 1;
}
which allows a quick change between models, or using the simpler
transportModel CrossPowerLaw;
nu0 [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 0.01;
nuInf [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 10;
m [0 0 1 0 0 0 0] 0.4;
n [0 0 0 0 0 0 0] 3;
if quick switching between models is not required.
To support this more convenient parameter specification the inconsistent
specification of seedSampleSet in the streamLine and wallBoundedStreamLine
functionObjects had to be corrected from
// Seeding method.
seedSampleSet uniform; //cloud; //triSurfaceMeshPointSet;
uniformCoeffs
{
type uniform;
axis x; //distance;
// Note: tracks slightly offset so as not to be on a face
start (-1.001 -0.05 0.0011);
end (-1.001 -0.05 1.0011);
nPoints 20;
}
to the simpler
// Seeding method.
seedSampleSet
{
type uniform;
axis x; //distance;
// Note: tracks slightly offset so as not to be on a face
start (-1.001 -0.05 0.0011);
end (-1.001 -0.05 1.0011);
nPoints 20;
}
which also support the "<type>Coeffs" form
// Seeding method.
seedSampleSet
{
type uniform;
uniformCoeffs
{
axis x; //distance;
// Note: tracks slightly offset so as not to be on a face
start (-1.001 -0.05 0.0011);
end (-1.001 -0.05 1.0011);
nPoints 20;
}
}
Radiative heat transfer may now be added to any solver in which an energy
equation is solved at run-time rather than having to change the solver code.
For example, radiative heat transfer is now enabled in the SandiaD_LTS
reactingFoam tutorial by providing a constant/fvOptions file containing
radiation
{
type radiation;
libs ("libradiationModels.so");
}
and appropriate settings in the constant/radiationProperties file.
For example the porosity coefficients may now be specified thus:
porosity1
{
type DarcyForchheimer;
cellZone porosity;
d (5e7 -1000 -1000);
f (0 0 0);
coordinateSystem
{
type cartesian;
origin (0 0 0);
coordinateRotation
{
type axesRotation;
e1 (0.70710678 0.70710678 0);
e2 (0 0 1);
}
}
}
rather than
porosity1
{
type DarcyForchheimer;
active yes;
cellZone porosity;
DarcyForchheimerCoeffs
{
d (5e7 -1000 -1000);
f (0 0 0);
coordinateSystem
{
type cartesian;
origin (0 0 0);
coordinateRotation
{
type axesRotation;
e1 (0.70710678 0.70710678 0);
e2 (0 0 1);
}
}
}
}
support for which is maintained for backward compatibility.
For example the actuationDiskSource fvOption may now be specified
disk1
{
type actuationDiskSource;
fields (U);
selectionMode cellSet;
cellSet actuationDisk1;
diskDir (1 0 0); // Orientation of the disk
Cp 0.386;
Ct 0.58;
diskArea 40;
upstreamPoint (581849 4785810 1065);
}
rather than
disk1
{
type actuationDiskSource;
active on;
actuationDiskSourceCoeffs
{
fields (U);
selectionMode cellSet;
cellSet actuationDisk1;
diskDir (1 0 0); // Orientation of the disk
Cp 0.386;
Ct 0.58;
diskArea 40;
upstreamPoint (581849 4785810 1065);
}
}
but this form is supported for backward compatibility.
