Summary0002882: Radiative energy source terms broken for fvDOM radiation model with wideBandAbsorptionEmission
DescriptionThe energy transfer terms for the continuous phase (fvDOM::Ru and fvDOM::Rp) appear to be completely incorrect for the fvDOM radiation model coupled with the wideBand absorption-emission model! The continuous phase absorption coefficient for the first band is currently applied for the entire incident radiation (and all the other absorption coefficients are hence ignored).

I believe the expression should rather be a sum (over all bands) of the absorption coefficient for the band multiplied by the incident radiation within that band, i.e.

  Ru = Sum_i (a_i G_i + E_i)

where G_i = Sum_n I_(n,i) omega_n is the incident radiation within the band

Similarly, the Rp term should be based on the sum of the absorption coefficient
multiplied by the proportion of the black body energy flux in the corresponding band, i.e.

  Rp = 4 \sigma Sum_i (a_i (f(\lambda_{i+1} T)-f(\lambda_i T)))

where f is the blackBodyEmission::fLambdaT function

I've compiled my suggested changes into the attached patches. Note that the computation of the proportion of the black-body energy flux within each band required the addition of an extra function in the blackBodyEmission class.

I've currently computed the continuous phase absorption coefficients in the same way as in radiativeIntensityRay, i.e. by subtracting the dispersed phase absorption coefficient from the (cached) total absorption. However, since the continuous phase absorption now gets used three times (as compared to once for the total absorption), it would be more efficient to cache the continuous phase absorption instead. I can update the patch to use this approach if you prefer?

I've uploaded a simple test code (hacked together using fireFoam as a base) that computes the explicit energy transfer using radiationModel::Ru and ::Rp and compares it to the explicit energy transfer computed using the sum over all of the rays in the fvDOM model.

I've also attached a radiationProperties file that can be used as a replacement within the oppositeBurningPanels test case which creates two frequency bands with different opacities. Note that this will also need the corrections from https://bugs.openfoam.org/view.php?id=2881 ). Running fireFoam and then the above post-processing code without the patch shows significant energy conservation errors, while the supplied patch eliminates these.

Thanks for the patches and test-case. I have updated the code for consistency with the OpenFOAM style: https://openfoam.org/dev/coding-style-guide/

and committed it to OpenFOAM-dev: c677ba11856b116677253ff0575e2c0e17973233

Could you check these updates?

For future patches it would be useful if you could ensure they conform to the OpenFOAM style, in particular avoid tabs as they are difficult to remove reliably without upsetting the indentation requiring time consuming editing by hand.

The commit seems to do the trick for OpenFOAM-dev, thanks. Sorry I forgot to "untabify" the updates before creating the patches!
