Hi Jozsef , after I create my setFieldsDict by setting the field default values and field region values when I go to paraview and refresh I am not able to see the T,p,U in the drop down ( I am only able to see these - ' Solid color', 'vtkCompositeIndex' , 'CasePath' ,'vtkBlockColors'. And my ' toggle colour legend visibility' becomes ineffective. Please help!
@@OpenFOAMJozsefNagy hello sir I am also having the same issue and also "paraFoam &" is also not working it gives errors like an import error. What should I do sir?
At 10:54, one doesn't need to copy the files into shockTube_1000 and shockTube_10000 folder. Also, inside shockTube_100 directory, one can create the dummy file executing the "paraFoam -touch" command, which will create a file named "shockTube_100.OpenFOAM" which can be read by Paraview. Repeat the same for the remaining two cases. To then visualize, one can run "paraFoam &" command, the "&" being the option to run the process Paraview in the background.
Thank you so MUCH!!! József Nagy, your virtual classes are more than helpful for me!! I am really enjoying learn with you! I have started learning from scratch with you, since then, I have learned loads! Thanks a lot! 10x better than using only the user guide! :)
When I open the case (before running the simulation) in paraview, p, T, and U don't load into it. After the simulation I still only see results from t=0,001 to t=0,007, but not for t=0. Any ideas what might be the reason for that?
hello professor, in this case , when we note the boundary in the blockMesh using the right hand rule, the thumb is pointing towards the surface to match the results shown in the file..... this contradicts what I learned from the last video that the normal vector (thumb) is always pointing out the surface
Hello Dr. Nagy, Thanks for your awesome tutorials. I have an error while trying to run the simulation using sonicFoam : "PIMPLE: no residual control data found. Calculations will employ 2 corrector loops" ..... how can I solve this issue ?
Hallo sir. When I command the blockMesh, it is created just 5 Folders inside the polyMesh.These are boundary,faces,neighbour,owner,points . I can't reach blockMeshdict folder inside the polyMesh. How can I fix that?
Hello, Your videos are very helpful. I was trying to run the foam.foam using paraview. But I don't know why I could not load it. I followed the whole thing as you showed in the video. Your reply is highly appreciated.
Several people seem to have this problem. Try another paraview version or you can convert your results to VTK. The command is foamToVTK. You'll get a VTK folder and there you can open your results.

Could you please help me, when I type setFields I get this error --> FOAM FATAL ERROR: cannot find file "/home/taron/OpenFOAM/openfoam6/tutorials/compressible/sonicFoam/laminar/shockeTube_baseCase/system/system/controlDict" I noticed that it wants to find the file in system/system/ but there is only one system and controlDict is there so I tried to create that additional /system folder and put files in it and enter the command.

Hello, you should run the simulation from the main directory. So try to run it like this : 1-)Firstly, you should go up to your main case file. Do not run the simulation when your directory is in one of the sub-folders of the case file. cd ~/OpenFoam/openfoam6/tutorials/compressible/sonicFoam/laminar/shockeTube_baseCase 2-) Then run the simulation from this directory path with "sonicFoam" command. If you are using the later versions of Openfoam such as openFoam-7 . You may need to type "rhoPimpleFoam" instead of "sonicFoam".

Thanks for those great tutorials! I tried to increase the duration of the simulation to observe shock reflection from the sides but interestingly shock wave seems to be damped out. Is this due to the zero gradient BC that we have used to define the sides? What kind of BC shall I use?
Hi. I followed the instruction but when I try to used the "sonicFoam" solver I get "FATAL ERROR" that it can not find the informations in fvSolution/fvScheme/thermophysicalProperties. I notice that content is this folder is different from content it is show in this tutorial. I try to change the data in these folder base on the tutorial but I still get error. I just want to ask where can I get the case setup with the same folders as this in tutorial. I am using openFOAM 2012.
No, that is correct. If you take a look at the compressible Navier Stokes equations, you see, that you do not divide by the constant density (because the flow is compressible i.e. the density is not constant). sonicFoam is a compressible solver. In icoFoam you solve the incompressible Navier Stokes equations, where you do divide by the constant density.
József Nagy Oh I see, it's kind of obvious now that I see what the code is doing. Kind of like how some codes solve the NS equations in non-dimensional form first, then multiply by the appropriate constants after a solution is found? I guess there's no need for the solution variables to be the actual physical quantities so long as a well-defined map exists to go between them.
Whenever I type setFields, I get this error: Create mesh for time = 0 Reading setFieldsDict Setting field default values --> FOAM Warning : From function bool setCellFieldType(const Foam::word&, const Foam::fvMesh&, const labelList&, Foam::Istream&) [with Type = Foam::Vector; Foam::labelList = Foam::List] in file setFields.C at line 123 Field U not found --> FOAM Warning : From function bool setCellFieldType(const Foam::word&, const Foam::fvMesh&, const labelList&, Foam::Istream&) [with Type = double; Foam::labelList = Foam::List] in file setFields.C at line 123 Field T not found --> FOAM Warning : From function bool setCellFieldType(const Foam::word&, const Foam::fvMesh&, const labelList&, Foam::Istream&) [with Type = double; Foam::labelList = Foam::List] in file setFields.C at line 123 Field p not found Setting field region values End

Sir, I am looking for simulating a jet impingement slurry erosion test. Can you please give me any suggestions for the solver that I must use? Also, how does one calculate the erosive wear rate using OpenFOAM?

Take a look at the source code, if it contains everything, you need. As for the wear you could calculate the force on the wall, where your liquid hits the wall.

5:20 Why does sonicfoam use actual pressure [Pa] instead of pressure divided by density [m^2/s^2] like icofoam? Or did I misunderstand something?
No, that is correct. If you take a look at the compressible Navier Stokes equations, you see, that you do not divide by the constant density (because the flow is compressible i.e. the density is not constant). sonicFoam is a compressible solver. In icoFoam you solve the incompressible Navier Stokes equations, where you do divide by the constant density.
József Nagy Oh I see, it's kind of obvious now that I see what the code is doing. Kind of like how some codes solve the NS equations in non-dimensional form first, then multiply by the appropriate constants after a solution is found? I guess there's no need for the solution variables to be the actual physical quantities so long as a well-defined map exists to go between them.

Could you please help me with this?
Thankyou in advance
i'm using openfoam6 and there's many difference of file in the tutorials folder sir, should i replace it with older one from github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.4.x (?)
I used back then the recent version of 2.3.0. You might, but it is a better idea to use the recent ones. On wiki.openfoam.com/Tutorials, amogst my tutorials I mention the syntax changes in recent versions. Unfortunately TH-cam doesn't allow me to change the videos.
Great series of videos! Like it! Doing every step. I see many times you talk "uncomment" in the meainig of "comment out" :-)
pki79 Well, I'm not a native speaker.
that word seems to exist.
Hi, Jozsef! When I run the simulation of 100 cells and 10000 cells, there is a FOAM FATAL ERROR " negative initial temperature T0: -0.0406692". What can I do to solve this problem?
Which solver do you execute?
sonicFoam
I have the same problem. Did you solve it @Stan Zhou ?
@@OpTimus0603 me too :(
Hello, everything works fine! Except for the ShockTube_10000 simulation. When I run SetFields I get the following message:
Create mesh for time = 0

Thank you very much!! But when I run setFields, it returned:

Do you have a field "p" in 0?
when I try to run setFields for shocktube_100 I get this:
--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
cannot find file "/home/alina/OpenFoam/tutorials/tutorials/compressible/sonicFoam/laminar/shockTube_100/system/system/controlDict"

I do have the controlDict but it is in "/home/alina/OpenFoam/tutorials/tutorials/compressible/sonicFoam/laminar/shockTube_100/system/controlDict"
Any idea how to fix it?
Hello, you should run the simulation from the main directory. So try to run it like this :
1-)Firstly, you should go up to your main case file. Do not run the simulation when your directory is in one of the sub-folders of the case file.
cd ~/OpenFoam/tutorials/tutorials/compressible/sonicFoam/laminar/shockTube_100
2-) Then run the simulation from this directory path with "sonicFoam" command
I want to simulate this case but when write sonicFoam, the terminal say:
sonicFoam: symbol lookup error: /lib/libincompressibleTransportModels.so: undefined symbol: _ZN4Foam9UOPstream5writeERKNS_5tokenE
what do i do?
Good mornign professor. Excellent Tutorials!
I managed to run this tutorial with OpenFoam8.
Instead of using socinFoam I used rhoPimpleFoam
after running it appeared 2 warning messages:
"""
--> FOAM Warning : functionObjects::mag mag(U) cannot find required object U of type volScalarField
--> FOAM Warning : functionObjects::mag mag(U) cannot find required object U of type surfaceScalarField
"""
Do you know what does that means?
This has something to do with the functionObject incontrolDict, not the simulation itself.
Hi! Your videos are great. I have a question. To Repear your videos in paraview use the version 3.12.0. When i repeat them, does not leave the refresh botton. I'm doing some step wrong? thanks in advance. All the best.
+Martín García As far as I know, your don't have this button in older versions. I use the newer versions (4.x and upwards).
I don't have 0 dir instead i have 0.orig. Can anyone help me how to get 0 file from 0.orig
