Orthotropic Conduction

Post by meredithalex »

Hello,

I am trying to run a code_saturne/syrthes coupled case (there are two solid domains) with orthotropic conduction, such that I can reduce the conduction in the axial direction (specifically in a fuel pin).
I first tried this using "syr_user_cond" with some if statements for the axial heights which apply to the change, however, this was failing during the setting of initial conditions. I thought this may be something to do with how I programmed it, however, I have since tried "CPHY_MAT_ORTHO_3D" with all x, y and z conductivity's at the same value and it fails at the same point. The base case with isotropic material properties runs ok, with the only difference between the two, the pin properties (all other files are exactly the same):

CPHY_MAT_ORTHO_3D= 10000.0 300.0 3.0 3.0 3.0 6 32 42 52 62 72

CPHY_MAT_ISO= 10000.0 300.0 3.0 6 32 42 52 62 72

Perhaps there are some known issues with orthotropic conduction or it should only be used for certain applications? For information, I have pasted the error messages below from the solid and fluid listing and also the "output" file in the top directory.

Thanks,

Alex

Re: Orthotropic Conduction

Hello,

I suspect an error when computing the exchange coefficient for coupling in the orthotropic case (which is probably not expected/tested), but to confirm this and check how to fix this would require either reviewing that part of the code, or running it under a debugger (ideally with Valgrind) to really check this.

Did you try contacting Syrthes support ?

Best regards,

Yvan
