OpenFOAM Error: Carrier Phase curlUc Interpolation Object Not Set (SaffmanMeiLiftForce)

 The error message "Carrier phase curlUc interpolation object not set" in OpenFOAM indicates that a required interpolation object for the Saffman Mei lift force calculation is missing. Here's how to address this:


Fitting Rheology Data to PTT or Maxwell Models for OpenFOAM Simulations

 Converting rheology data to model parameters is definitely possible! Here's a general approach for fitting your complex rheology data (G*, G', and G'') to the PTT or Maxwell models using OpenFOAM:

Exporting Airfoil from DesignFOIL to AirfoilTools for Impeller Design

 DesignFOIL allows exporting airfoil coordinates in various formats, including DAT files. However, AirfoilTools specifically requires a DAT file format with a header containing specific information about the airfoil.

How to deal with small gap problem when extract model in Ansys

 The small gap you're encountering when extracting the internal volume in your pressure tank model with tubes is likely due to slight geometric imperfections or tolerances between the separate parts in your CAD software. Here are a few approaches you can try to fix this:

Can I Use Transition SST turbulence model for turbine or rotor in Ansys Fluent ?

 Yes, you can likely use the Transition SST model for your Darrieus turbine simulation in ANSYS FLUENT given the y+ wall value of approximately 1. Here's why:


Dynamic library error in OpenFoam. How to solve ?

 I'd be glad to help you with the dynamic library error you're encountering in your OpenFOAM simulation. While I cannot provide specific instructions on copying and pasting due to the potential variations in file structures and operating systems, here are general guidelines that should help you resolve the issue:
