Hello, everyone, I am going to build a two-temperature model of an electric arc plasma torch. It implies separate temperatures (or enthalpies) for heavy particles (molecules, atoms and ions) and electrons. The electric arc is non-transferred and can burn in re-strike mode. I need two-temperature mod...

Thanks a lot, Luciano.

Thank you for your answer, Yvan. Unfortunately, I cannot use Code_Saturne from the terminal and I do not have GUI. I have to start all the calculations with a script for Slurm just by typing "sbatch script_for_calc.batch". The script currently looks as following: #!/bin/bash #!/bin/bash #S...

Thanks a lot, Yvan. I found the problem. I have imposed the value of electric potential gradient instead of the scalar product of the electric current vector and the normal vector. I just had to read the user guide more carefully. Also the idea to choose "user defined" for scaling was corr...

Thank you for your answer, Yvan. Could you please tell me, what should I specify in the Electrical models/Electric arc/Variables scaling model? If I want to impose electric current as a boundary condition, I do not need any scaling here, right? But if I just choose "user defined", the elec...

Hello everyone, I am trying to build a simulation of electric arc in Argon with imposed electric current density at the cathode surface instead of imposed electric potential difference. Hence, the boundary conditions are as following: Anode: Pr=0.0 Cathode: grad(Pr) = |-J(imposed surface distributio...

Thanks a lot for your answer, Yvan. I think, it is the case for me: compilation doesn't work on the compute nodes. So I need to discuss it more with the administrator. I just hoped that the compilation could be done without problems on a virtual machine with Ubuntu and then sent to the cluster. Coul...

Hello everyone, I need to use Code_Saturne on a HPC cluster with Linux. But the cluster cannot compile the code for some reason, which is not clear for me. As far as I understand, it will work if I compile the code on a separate computer and then just copy the compiled code to the cluster. Does some...

Thank you very much for your answers!

Best regards,

Thank you for your answer, Yvan! As far as I understand, the processor clock rate doesn't have a big impact to the computation speed, right? If I choose among different Intel Xeons should I take more cores or a higher processor clock rate? Could you please advise something for the RAM and the mother...
