Error message

Palabos General
#1

Hi,

I am trying to simulate flow in porous media using palabos and I intend to impose periodic boundaries with bounceback condition on obstacles. However, I get the following error message and I think its from my definition of bounceback, which I think was done correctly. I would appreciate if my mistake is pointed out to me

Error message

Hey there,

try removing the () brackets behind the “new BounceBack<T,DESCRIPTOR>()” in line 127:

so it looks like:

defineDynamics(lattice, mediadomain, new BounceBack<T,DESCRIPTOR>, true);

hope that helps,

cheers,

Hi, I tried it and it did not work. I decided to use an earlier version of palabos and I get this message.

Hi again,

I use exactly the same method for my simulations, and the only difference I noticed were those brackets, so I really don´t understand why its not working - what errormessage did you get when the brackets were gone ?

The reason why you get the message with an earlier version is because the implementation for the force-vector was more complicated, and the command did not exist until… not sure either 0.7r1 or 07r2

the old method looked like this (in 2D):


template<typename T, template<typename U> class Descriptor>
class ExternalForceInitializer : public OneCellIndexedFunctional2D<T,Descriptor> {
public:
    ExternalForceInitializer(T force_)
        : force(force_)
    { }
	
    ExternalForceInitializer<T,Descriptor>* clone() const {
        return new ExternalForceInitializer<T,Descriptor>(*this);
    }
    virtual void execute(plint iX, plint iY, Cell<T,Descriptor>& cell) const {
        T force_x = force;
	T force_y = 0;
        Array<T,2> forcefield (force_x, force_y);
	Array<T,2> zeroVelocity (0.,0.);
        T rho = (T)1.;
		
        //pcout << "Force: Fx = " << force_x << ", Fy = " << force_y << endl;
	iniCellAtEquilibrium(cell, rho, zeroVelocity);
		// Initialize the value of the force in the external scalars.
        cell.setExternalField (
               Descriptor<T>::ExternalField::forceBeginsAt,
               Descriptor<T>::ExternalField::sizeOfForce, &forcefield[0] );

    }
private:
    T force;
};

and in the main function:


applyIndexed(lattice, Box2D(0, nx-1, 0, ny-1), new ExternalForceInitializer<T,DESCRIPTOR>(force) );

I looked again through your code and saw no difference (other than you using HeExternalForceBGKdynamics and I use GuoExternalForceBGKdynamics), maybe I´m just overlooking something, here is my part of the code - which works fine:


MultiBlockLattice3D<T, DESCRIPTOR> lattice (nxx, nyy, nzz,
	new GuoExternalForceBGKdynamics<T,DESCRIPTOR>(units.getOmega()) );
    
    lattice.periodicity().toggle(0, true); // periodic along the x-axis
    lattice.periodicity().toggle(1, true); // periodic along the y-axis
	
    
    OnLatticeBoundaryCondition3D<T,DESCRIPTOR>* boundaryCondition = createLocalBoundaryCondition3D<T,DESCRIPTOR>();
	
    Box3D topWall(1, nxx-2, 0, nyy-1, nzz-1, nzz-1);
    Box3D bottomWall(0, nxx-1, 0, nyy-1, 0, 0);
    boundaryCondition->setVelocityConditionOnBlockBoundaries (lattice, topWall, boundary::freeslip);
    
   
    setExternalVector (lattice, lattice.getBoundingBox(), DESCRIPTOR<T>::ExternalField::forceBeginsAt, Array<T,3>(force, 0., 0.));

    MultiScalarField3D<bool> boolMask(nxx, nyy, nzz);
   
    plb_ifstream ifile(inputfile.c_str());
    ifile >> boolMask;    
    defineDynamics(lattice, boolMask, new BounceBack<T,DESCRIPTOR>, true);
    lattice.initialize();

nxx, nyy and nzz are the dimensions of the lattice obtained with the parameters.getNx()-command.
And the value for was also defined earlier.

I use 0.7r2 at the moment, post the errormessage if its still not working.

Hey Chuckdee,

I finally found the problem:
In earlier releases, the MultiScalarFieldxD could only be of datatype, which was a bit weird if you needed a boolmask. I think in the 0.7r they changed it, and from now on it can be (and has to be in some cases) of different datatypes.

So for the boolmask, instead of

MultiScalarField3D mediadomain(nx, ny, nz);

use

MultiScalarField3D mediadomain (nx, ny, nz);

I just compiled your code without any errormessage, so it looks good.
But like I mentioned in my first post, dont use these () brackets.

hopefully it works now,

cheers,
chris
