In the document 04_TrainingSetup.pdf(UNDER REVISION), a single-phase flow in a fixed pipe is set up. Thereby, commands are explained and added successively in the main input file USER_common_variables.dat (replacing the definitions in the provided Ucv_DEFAULT.dat):
Exercise I - read-in of geometry including scaling, geometry alias for no-slip wall
Exercise II - geometry aliases for inflow and outflow, solver parameters and time control
Exercise III - general saving parameters and save items
Exercise IV - equations and curves, point cloud definition and alias variables
Exercise V - spherical point cloud refinement, radial point cloud refinement
Exercise VI - "open" outflow, half-filled pipe, free inflow
Exercise VII - movement of inflow
Please download the folder TrainingSetup. It contains the input files (USER_common_variables.dat, common_variables.dat, Ucv_DEFAULT.dat) and the geometry (pipe.msh). Furthermore, the standard solutions for the different exercises (UCV_StandardSolution_Exercise...) are also available there for reference.
Helpful tips and links to the appropriate sections in the documentation or the corresponding standard solutions are included in the document (Adobe Reader recommended):
Warning: Currently, we are revising the document 04_TrainingSetup.pdf. Please be aware that the links to the appropriate sections in the documentation are not working.
While the simulation is running, you can already take a first glance at the transient results. To view and analyze the results, we recommend to download and install ParaView. A brief introduction to ParaView as well as useful features for analyzing MESHFREE results can be found in 10_ParaviewForMESHFREE.pdf as well as Postprocessing.
Figure 1 shows an example of a visualization with ParaView. This can be achieved by adapting the paths to the result files in the state file 'TrainingSetup_ParaViewState.py' and, subsequently, loading it in ParaView.
Figure 1: Visualization with ParaView. Note: Upon loading the state file, the notation of the file names in the Pipeline Browser of ParaView will change to EnSightReader1 and EnSightReader2.
Furthermore, the specified integrated simulation results (see INTEGRATION for details) can be analyzed, e.g. with the help of GNU Octave, gnuplot, or any spreadsheet (MS Excel). A reusable shell script plotting the TimestepFile data can be found in 11_GnuplotForMeshfree.pdf.
