| Summary | 0000092: Wrong wall distance in conjunction with cyclic patches | ||||
| Description | The wall distance is sometimes not calculated correctly when cyclic patches are present in OpenFOAM 1.7.x (and 1.5-dev). I will describe it for 1.5-dev as the definable rotationaAngle in 1.5-dev could help to find the root of the problem. I could reproduce this problem on several similar meshes but unfortunately not with a simple mesh generated with blockMesh. The geometry is the inlet section (straight pipe) of a case with rotational periodicity, in this case 360°/7. I converted the mesh with fluentMeshToFoam from a fluent mesh file. It doesn't help to use fluent3DMeshTofoam. checkMesh doesn't report any problem. The settings of the cyclic patch are: PERIODIC { type cyclic; nFaces 3120; startFace 236890; featureCos 0.9; transform rotational; rotationCentre (0 0 0); rotationAxis (0 0 1); rotationAngle -51.42857; } This setup gives a "correct" Urel, k, omega and pressure but the wall distance is wrong. OpenFOAM-1.7.x, 1.6.x and 1.5-dev produce the same results. If the rotationAngle is changed to 51.42857, the simulation does not converge due to the wrong transformation of the velocity vectors at the cyclic patches. The big surprise is that the wall distance seems to be correct in this case. | ||||
