condensation and humidity simulation

Hello all,


As a newbie to OPENFOAM software, I'm actually trying to redo the simulation from the article (Simulation of Moisture Ingression in Microelectronics Package to Correlate Accelerated Tests and Field Conditions Reliability). The authors used Comsol software for this simulation. I was curious as to whether this was possible with OPENFOAM.


Thank you.

ACOUSTIC-BENCHMARK-PROPELLER-DJI9450 CAD MODEL

Hello sir

i had gone through your webinars and various papers. recently i had read your published information regarding <TCAE-CFDSUPPORT-ACOUSTIC-BENCHMARK-PROPELLER-DJI9450> . I want to try simulation on same propeller can you please provide me cad model for dji9450 propeller that you had used in Ur simulation.

 THANK YOU

NACA 4412 study case

Hello 
I have some questions about the NACA 4412 case file provided in cfd support study cases:
1- how to set the simulation for other meshing (structured ones) that I did using block mesh please.
2- Trying to run the case without making any change gives this error. I tried to solve it many times without success. any suggestion on how to solve it especially for the solver related ones (rhomin....)
here the error message:

rhoSimpleFoam convergence

Have you got any advice or sample files (fvSolution, fvSchemes) for getting rhoSimpleFoam to converge please?


I'm running an aircraft case at Mach 2.0, using rhoSimpleFoam, with freestream BC in the far-field.

The whole solution becomes very oscillatory, even though initial convergence looks ok. I am using relaxation factors and limiters that have worked for me before.  I have used rhoSimpleFoam many times before for supersonic applications, but this time I'm having difficulty.

🔁 Centrifugal Pump CFD & FEA + FSI simulation: 💦🔄🚀


Centrifugal pumps play a critical role in many industries, and optimizing their efficiency can result in significant cost savings. 💰💡

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD), finite element analysis (FEA), and fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulations can be utilized to simulate the performance of a centrifugal pump and optimize its design. 🖥️📈

CFD simulations help understand the fluid flow inside the pump, identify areas of recirculation, and predict important performance metrics such as head, flow rate, and efficiency. 🌪️💧

FEA simulations analyze the structural integrity of the pump, ensuring it can withstand the stresses and strains of operation. 💪🧪

FSI simulations combine the results of CFD and FEA simulations to provide a more accurate representation of the pump's performance, accounting for the interaction between the fluid and the structure. 🔄🔬

At TCAE, we offer comprehensive CFD, FEA, and FSI simulation services for centrifugal pumps. Our simulations help optimize pump design, reduce energy consumption, and improve overall performance. 💻🚀

By using simulations to optimize the design of a centrifugal pump, companies can save money on energy costs and increase the pump's lifespan. 💰💡

In conclusion, CFD, FEA, and FSI simulations are powerful tools for optimizing the design and performance of centrifugal pumps. TCAE provides comprehensive simulation services to help companies save money, reduce energy consumption, and improve operational efficiency. 💦💪💻

Unable to install and configure Openfoam-9 on RHEL-8

Hi Team,


Recently I am trying to install and configure Openfoam-9 source file on RHEL operating system. But I could not able to install it successfully. So I need your support to install this OpenFoam-9 on RHEL operating system. It is very urgent, so please if it possible to schedule a Zoom or WebEx meeting to fix this issue.


I have already installed these below listed OpenFoam version RHEL-7 and RHEL-8 OS and it is working fine.

OpenFoam-6 -> RHEL-7.9

OpenFoam-10 -> RHEL-8.9

OpenFoam-2306 -> RHEL-8.9

Post-processing's manipulations and variables' meaning

Hi everyone !


It's my first post here and I have a few questions on post-processing's manipulations and on variables' meaning :


1) How can I get the surface areas of the components' interfaces on TCAE (Paraview interface) or in the calculation case's folders ?


2) The TCAE user manual indicate that here are 2circumferential angles : the axial and the radial circumferential angles. To analyse my data, I need to extract the radial circumferential angle. However, withe the option 'calculateAngles on' in .../stationary/system/interfaces.fun, I only get one circumferential angle : circAng. How can I know which one is it (radial or axial) ? Or a mix of both ?


3) How is the mass flow rate calculated on the interfaces, with the absolute speed or with the flow speed (the radial speed for the mass flow at the outlet of a centrifugal impeller for example) ?


I hope someone will be able to help me on these topics... Thanks in advance !

Kaplan Turbine CFD, FEA, FSI, and Optimization


Kaplan Turbine CFD, FEA, FSI, and Optimization


CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), FEA (Finite Element Analysis), and FSI (Fluid-Structure Interaction) simulations are powerful tools for analyzing the performance of hydro turbines.

CFD simulations can be used to predict the fluid flow and pressure patterns in and around a hydro turbine, including the water flows through the turbine blades, the pressure drop across the turbine, and the efficiency of the turbine under different operating conditions.


FEA simulations can be used to analyze the structural integrity of the hydro turbine and its components, including the blades, shafts, and bearings. These simulations can help to identify potential stress and fatigue issues in the turbine and to optimize the design of the turbine for better performance and durability.


FSI simulations can be used to simulate the interaction between the fluid flow and the turbine's structure, which is especially important in hydro turbines because of the large loads and pressures that are generated by the water flow. FSI simulations can help to understand how the turbine's structure deforms and how it affects the fluid flow, as well as how the fluid flow affects the turbine's structure.

Altogether, CFD, FEA, and FSI simulations can provide a comprehensive analysis of a hydro turbine's performance, including its efficiency, structural integrity, and durability, which can be used to optimize its design and improve its performance.
