Summary0001968: Dummy turbulence model
DescriptionHi,

I have just tried setting a dummy turbulence model using a buoyantBoussinesqsimpleFoam (laminar) - and it could not find it. i.e. it insisted from me of choosing one of the turbulence models.

Having it in did make my life setting the cases up much easier.

Regards,
GT

 Sorry for the delay. I am handling multiple CFD codes at once at the moment.

I did that. It did not seem to make any effect. Setting RASModel to laminar also brought an error offering a list of list of models. Turning off turbulence - gives a weird results, not what I am expecting or used to get with previous version and Fluent.

P.S. I know some of the settings are fairly silly which are shown in the log below.

CODES:

simulationType laminar;

RAS
{
    RASModel kEpsilon;

    turbulence on;

    printCoeffs on;
}

Already fixed in OpenFOAM-dev and OpenFOAM-3.0.x.

Sorry for reopening again.

I am using 3.0.1 at the moment - as can be seen from the extracted data in my previous message.

I double checked everything - it works using simpleFOAM, but using buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFOAM - does NOT react to setting of simulationType laminar;

I assume that there is some minor difference in these two apps I cannot spot, as I am not the expert on C++.

I can make a link to a case file on a could if needed.

I have tested buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam running laminar in OpenFOAM-dev and OpenFOAM-3.0.x without problems. So the issue is already fixed in OpenFOAM-dev and OpenFOAM-3.0.x and there is nothing more to do.
