Dear József, sincere thanks for sharing this video with us! I'm very excited about learning OpenFoam and your videos are awesome, best regards from Brazil!
Thank you very much for the amazing tutorial videos!! I just wanted to know how do we interpret the alpha values between 0 and 1. If the alpha value is say 0.05 at a location, does it mean that there is mist present there? As in is the simulation predicting there are small liquid droplets in the vapor at that location? Or do we interpret it as approximately 0 hence fully vapor?
@@OpenFOAMJozsefNagy Thank you for your response!! Which method would you recommend if one is interested in knowing how much liquid is carried over/entrained in the gas phase in form of mist or droplets?
Kind of a general question here, but is there a way to run interFoam until it reaches steady state and then run setFields again? I'll happily donate if you have a technique (I have before and will again).
Dear Josh, do you mean automatically or manually? Manually you can use a function object, which monitors the mean value of alpha in the volume and once you see, that the value is constant, you can stop the simulation and execute setFields. For the automatic version some kind of script or app could do the same, but this wold have to be set up.
@@OpenFOAMJozsefNagy This is what I tried but no luck. My controlDict specifies to startFrom latestTime. Then my setFieldsDict only specifies regions, which I make a different phase and a given value. So I begin the simulation as normal, stop it at some time, execute setFields with a different value than what was initialized, then execute interFoam. The simulation continues from the previous time but no change is made to the liquid/gas field. I'm using OF6
@@OpenFOAMJozsefNagy A new case with 0? You mean recomposePar and then rename the latest time folder 0? I did get it working with funkySetFields tho, which is nice!
I have a problem in loading alpha.water values in paraview. I am seeing only 0 assigned to all points(including the box). But inside the file i see that 1 being assigned to points in the box and 0 to remaining points outside the box. I tried twice with setfields but it didnt work. Am I doing something wrong?
How to calculate the void fraction for a pipe flow over time? Basically I want to plot "Time Vs. Void fraction" for a pipe carrying bubbly flow. I'm focusing on one particular section and want to determine void fraction in that section and how it changes over the time as bubbly flow is passing through it.
After running the setFields utility, nano/gedit can't open the 0/alpha.water file. Despite that, I can see the water column in paraview. Still, why can not the nano/gedit read the 0/alpha.water file ?? It can't display the list of values of alphas for various cells. Instead the list seems cryptic with just "@" signs over there. The rest of the boundary conditions stay the same.
Dear sir, how to calculate impact velocity of water droplet impacting on solid surface in Ansys fluent and what is range value of that droplet velocity?
Hello. I am new at Open Foam. I tried to run this system and i did all of your steps, but I dont know why the alpha is zero at all time steps. I would appreciate your help in this problem.
Hi, I have a short and probably quite simple question about the presentation of the results of interFoam in Paraview. So there are two phases, air and water. To view only the water in Paraview, I use the clip function in conjunction with scalar and set the alpha value to 0.5. What I haven't quite understood yet is what this value stands for? Does this mean that all cells containing at least 50% water are displayed? In simulations with a finer grid, areas were also displayed in which there was no water according to the coarser grid. Or is this a clear indication that my grid is too coarse?
This is a drawback of the VOF method. Your questions are valid and usually there should be only one cell with 0.5 representing the surface, however due to numerics it is possible to have a smeared out surface. This is unphysical of course. You really have to make a compromise between resolution and run-time. This is also true for all commercial codes, this is not an OpenFOAM specific problem.
after executing setFields command it is showing FOAM warning and no list of alpha values is appearing as you have shown in this video. What might the problem? Can you please explain? I have followed this tutorial of yours step by step.
I can do most of the video. but in final stage, after coding foam.foam. I cannot open foam.foam in paraview. Please let me know. Thank you for your support
Hi Jozsef, great video! I encountered a problem when executing setFields: it says that 'Field alpha.water is not found.' but i followed the steps correctly. Could i get some help?
Hi. Thanks for your video. It is very useful. Just one question: Can you please explain the difference between p and p_rgh, and how are both related and calculated?
@@OpenFOAMJozsefNagy Hi. Thanks. So I should be able to obtain the pressure as P = rho * (g*h + 0.5*u^2) ? I ask since I tried this already with post-processed data and the results were not the same.
I have never done it before. I would look for the geometry, mesh it, start with a steady state simulation and if transient effects are needed, use those results as iitial condition for the transient simulations.
where did you collect the interFoam information that you show here from? I mean, is there an article or some official paper that explains in detail how interFoam works? or maybe some description of OpenFOAM about interFoam?
Dear József, I just followed every step of your video, and now at opening paraview the "Cell Arrays" are empty. It means, that the before given settings (0, constant etc.) are not used, right? What did I do wrong? - I cannot change the parameters on the top -
Ok everybody, please make sure to run the solver properly before asking! I did not run the solver and I paniced.. It is working now properly, making the 3rd denser mesh. Thank you József!
Hello I am tried to simulate two phase stratified (air-water) flow using VOF model with ANSYS FLUENT are you familiar with VOF model in ANSYS FLUENT code?
Hi I'm trying to solve two phase flow case. Case description: A horizontal pipe filled with water. From upstream end of the pipe say at a certain distance there is air tank supplying air into the horizontal pipe. I want to introduce the air with specific constant pressure and some desired volume. I want to push all the air from my tank into the horizontal pipe so that I can later quantify my results accurately (knowing exact volume used in different case files). The problem is to simulate this case i was trying to introduce a tank geometry on above horizontal pipe which was connected to air tank with one small vertical pipe. But as air has low density all air is not entering into the horizontal pipe (some on the top portion on tank, though air pressure is high initially). So Later I changed ma geometry and made tank below horizontal pipe. This allows complete air to get into the horizontal channel but now water is entering into the air tank and hence I'm not utilizing initial water volume used in the simulatiopn which is later very important for quantification of results. Is there any boundary condition I can use which just allow specific volume of air (time controlled air inlet) so that after certain volume or time that boundary not supplying any air into the horizontal pipe, something like this? Please let me know whats are the possible solutions.
thank you sir for this very useful tutorial .. i faced a problem that i couldnt get the different density of the water column and it is zero over the entire domain and i executed setFields line!!
Dear Jozsef Greetings, Thanks for your interesting videos. I need to model a collision between a solid particle and a falling droplet. Based on existing experimental results after collision, particle start penetrating into droplet and create a very thin liquid film in shape of a hallow truncated cone around particle which is called lamella (whole the collision and lamella formation happens very fast ~ 1 ms) My alternative softwares for simulation are Fluent, OpenFoam, Comsol and Gerris. I'd like to get a piece of advice from you to know which of these softwares is more suitable for simulating this phenomenon (i.e. is able to predict lamella formation and its geometry more accurately) Here is some complementary information: - Droplet diameter is 2.8 mm and particle diameter is 2.0 mm - Droplet is falling by gravity and its velocity at collision is 0.8 m/s - Particle is moving horizontally with 8.0 m/s - Drop is water and particle density is 1050 kg/m3 I'm looking forward to hearing your helpful comments. Many thanks,
Sayed Hossein Banitabaei I have no experience whatsoever with Comsol or Gerris. I guess OpenFOAM and Fluent are rather similar, you will need VOF for your case. You will need a dynamic mesh refinement (available in OpenFOAM). Just try the damn break tutorial with mesh refinement and modify it to your needs. I guess your simulation will run for a while.
Dear József, Thanks for your reply. Since I do not have any experience for using "dynamic mesh refinement", would you please let me know at least one tutorial in each of the following subjects that can help me more in modeling droplet-particle collision: - VOF - Dynamic mesh refinement Your advice is really helpful and appreciated. My email address is: h.banitabaei@gmail.com in case you can send any helpful document.
Sayed Hossein Banitabaei Check out the tutorials in OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.0/tutorials/multiphase/interDyMFoam. If you are using another version than your path will be of course different to the tutorials. Take a look at constant/dynamicMeshDict within the cases. The magic happens there.
Thank you for your work on this...very helpful. When I try to view the scalar contour, it only shows values of 0. I finally figured out that Paraview was reading alpha.water .org instead of alpha.water. As a fix, I just put the .org file somewhere else. Is there a way to tell Paraview to just use the non-.org file in the future?
If I understand your question correctly, paraview automatically selects alpha.water.org and you delete it, so it selects alpha.water instead. If you click Contour in Paraview, you will find under Properties "Contour By" and there you can select all your scalarFields.
Yes, once alpha.water.org is removed from the 0 folder, Paraview picks up alpha.water just fine. It seemed like when you went through, both alpha.water and alpha.water.org were both in the 0 folder, and Paraview picked up alpha.water instead of alpha.water.org. Do you know why it did that in your case?
József Nagy If alpha.water and alpha.water.org are in the 0 folder, when I open foam.foam in Paraview all I see are values of 0 for the domain. If I then click on Contour, see that Contour By: alpha.water (and the Value Range shows only 0), and then click on Apply, the domain disappears from the graphics window. If I click on the eye icon next to foam.foam in the tree, the domain shows again. When I then click on Contour1 underneath it, I don't see any changes.
Mike Foster Well that's odd. I'm sorry, but It's difficult to solve the problem over youtube. Send me a screenshot to the mail adress, that you find in my about section!

You define it in constant/transportProperties. The first entry counts. You can change it though. YOu have to be consistent.
to summarize this tutorial: "we dont talk about this"

Sure. Only oil is easy, just change the material properties in transportProperties. However, there is also a solver for multiple fluids in OpenFOAM.
