Summary0000305: Problems to input a tensorial viscosity, or a fvm::laplacian(<tensor>,<vector>)
DescriptionWhile trying to make some changes in some equations, I had to multiply the fvm::laplacian(nu,U) by a constant tensor. Since the tensor is constant (and diagonal), it should be just the same as using a tensorial viscosity. But I had errors when I tryed to run the solver.

I've already used tensorial diffusivities for the energy equation and other scalar equations, with no problems, but for the motion equation (or for a laplacian of a vector, or div(tensor & grad(U))) it doesn't work. It compiles well, with no errors, but when I run the solver, it breaks, with the following error messages:



#0 Foam::error::printStack(Foam::Ostream&) in "/opt/openfoam171/lib/linuxGccDPOpt/libOpenFOAM.so"
#1 Foam::sigSegv::sigSegvHandler(int) in "/opt/openfoam171/lib/linuxGccDPOpt/libOpenFOAM.so"

Segmentation fault




Then, I think I solved the problem. Apparently the fvm::laplacian(<tensor>,<vector>) wasn't really implemented (at least at versions 1.7.1 and 2.0.0, in which I tryed testing).

I just modified the file laplacianScheme.H in the directory /opt/openfoam171/src/finiteVolume/finiteVolume/laplacianSchemes/LaplacianScheme/, adding the line:

makeFvLaplacianTypeScheme(SS, vector, tensor) \

and recompiled the finiteVolume libso, and apparently it worked properly.
Steps To ReproduceSet some tensor multiplying the nu in fvm::laplacian(nu,U) in any solver, and try to run the solver. The problem occured to me in OpenFOAM 1.7.1 and 2.0.0.
Additional InformationAs already said, I think I solved the problem. Apparently the fvm::laplacian(<tensor>,<vector>) wasn't really implemented (at least at versions 1.7.1 and 2.0.0, in which I tryed testing).

I just modified the file laplacianScheme.H in the directory /opt/openfoam171/src/finiteVolume/finiteVolume/laplacianSchemes/LaplacianScheme/, adding the line:

makeFvLaplacianTypeScheme(SS, vector, tensor) \

and recompiled the finiteVolume libso. Apparently it worked properly, and the result was OK with the identity tensor, but I didn't test the numerical results with other tensors.
