Palabos v1.2 released

Dear community,

We’ve been talking about it for some time now, and finally it’s out: the next Palabos release, with a sophisticated model for Lagrangian particles with particle-fluid and particle-particle interaction. It also includes a series of improvements on the free-surface model.

Here are the usual links:

We hope you’ll enjoy working with the newest code!

Hi Jonas,

Do you have any references for the free surface model used in palabos?

Regards,
Bruce

Hi Bruce,

We essentially implemented the free-surface model developed at the Erlangen University. I say “essentially”, because the free surface model is very tricky and consists of many small but important details. It is difficult to fully describe the model in a publication, or as a reader, fully get all the details from reading one of these publications. As a conclusion, the model implemented in Palabos consists of “the Erlangen model” plus a large collection of small details we added during roughly two years of testing and benchmarking.

The Erlangen model is nicely described in Thomas Pohl’s PhD thesis[/url]. You also find it documented in many of Nils Thürey’s publications, such as [url=http://www10.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/Publications/TechnicalReports/TechRep05-4.pdf]this one.

Cheers,
Jonas

Thanks Jonas.

Hi,

Just trying the Palabos v1.2 version and compile cavity2D, it seems there is new header file i.e. plbRandom.h compare to the previous Palabos version show an error as shown below:
line 69; error: there are no argument to ‘random’ that depend on a template parameter, so a declaration of ‘random’ must be available.

Any clue?

Best Regards,
Pahala

Apologize, the answer is in the other thread.

Hi Jonas,

İs there any improvement in turbulence modelling ?

You need to install openmpi or something equivalent.
