Problem about free energy model

[KaiLin]

Hi,

we modified the example case of contactAngle2d and found two problems.

1. When we use xml file to import the positions of nodes, it can be run properly under 20000 nodes. But when the number of nodes is over 20000, the program stop before “Prepare Geometry … OK”. Is there a limit of importing nodes with xml file or the superGeometry is limited? Is there any other way that we can import complex geometry with 2D?

2. When we use free energy model，we set material number 2 with setFreeEnergyWallBoundary, material number 1 with bulkDynamics. We find(The number irepresents material number)

Not converge Converge
1 2 1 1 2 2 1
1 2 1 1 2 2 1
1 2 1 1 2 2 1

We set the parameters with contact angele 46 degree.

Later part is not shown properly.

Thanks for your kind reply with email yesterday! Finally I can speak at the forum ^_^

I correct the distribution of material number. Could you please tell me why? Thx!

Yes, that (situation above) are too few fluid nodes.

Hi Mathias,

Sorry, I don’t understand what means “too fee fluid nodes”, >_<

We want to build a model of a two-phase flow(liquid and air) in porous media. In porous media the situation of fluid with one layer lattice is usual. So it’s easy to lead no converge.

Does it mean we must make sure there are fluid with at least two layer lattice in whole geometry. Really need the help of your team! Thank you!

Kai Lin
