Re: Diffusion-Convection-Reactive Chemisty
It's a perfectly fine way to check the residual. You just need to evaluate what constitutes "converged" for your problem. I recommend running a very high number of sweeps and printing the residual as you go along to see what range of values it covers. > On Jul 28, 2016, at 11:27 AM, Daniel DeSantis wrote: > > I'll check through the units again. > > Honestly, I'm not sure about convergence and the res > 1e-2.

Re: Diffusion-Convection-Reactive Chemisty
I recommend you work through and check your units in all equations. I don't have any intuition for what's a big value and what's small when we're talking kmol. There aren't any units at all specified for D, k, etc. Is your solution converged when it finishes `while res > 1.e-2`? How did you pick that value for the residual? > On Jul 21, 2016, at 2:12 PM, Daniel DeSantis wrote: > > So, these changes all helped a lot, both in getting results and my general > understanding.

Re: Diffusion-Convection-Reactive Chemisty
So, these changes all helped a lot, both in getting results and my general understanding. Sorry to come back with more questions but I have been trying to extend the model a bit. I've added a second, competing reaction and have tried to incorporate a temperature profile. So far, I can get answers that seem to match what I expect but I have to use strange values to do so... The two problems I have are: 1) The temperature profile requires a k_eff of 5e6 or 5e7 to not increase ridiculously high. 2) The diffusion coefficient has to be relatively high (D=100) in order to get a decent concentration profile. In most models with a reaction that has a decent velocity, you can ignore diffusion all together. That does not seem to be the case here. Perhaps my understanding of how to code these systems is incorrect? In this particular case, is there something I should be doing to make the diffusion term second order? I've included codes and an equation sheet to try and clarify things. As it stands, the coefficients (D, k1, k2, keff) in the code give me a concentration profile I expect but not a temperature one.

Staring at the code, it looks like you're defining initial values (C_a_0, C_b_0, ..., V0) as CellVariables instead of scalars (or Variables), which is probably not what you meant. Substituting the following seems to work better: #%% - INITIATION VALUES C_a_0 = 0 C_b_0 = 0 C_c_0 = 0 C_d_0 = 0 V0 = 409.5183981003883 #V_flow/A_crossSection #m/hr #%% - VARIABLES C_a= CellVariable(name="Concentration of A", mesh=mesh, hasOld=True) C_b= CellVariable(name="Concentration of B", mesh=mesh, hasOld=True) C_c= CellVariable(name="Concentration of C", mesh=mesh, hasOld=True) C_d= CellVariable(name="Concentration of D", mesh=mesh, hasOld=True) V = CellVariable(name="Velocity", mesh=mesh, hasOld=True) C_a.setValue(C_a_0) C_b.setValue(C_b_0) C_c.setValue(C_c_0) C_d.setValue(C_d_0) V.setValue(V0) But this still gives errors relating to division by zero and singular matrices. I think this is because the last term in each of your equations (factor*r_a) needs to be an appropriate SourceTerm, since r_a = -k1 * C_a and you're solving for C_a. I substituted #%% - DEFINE EQUATIONS EqC_a = (TransientTerm(var=C_a)==-ExponentialConvectionTerm(coeff=V_vec,var=C_a) + DiffusionTerm(var=C_b,coeff=Da) + ImplicitSourceTerm(var=C_a,coeff=1)) EqC_b = (TransientTerm(var=C_b)==-ExponentialConvectionTerm(coeff=V_vec,var=C_b) + DiffusionTerm(var=C_b,coeff=Da) + ImplicitSourceTerm(var=C_a,coeff=11)) EqC_c = (TransientTerm(var=C_c)==-ExponentialConvectionTerm(coeff=V_vec,var=C_c) + DiffusionTerm(var=C_c,coeff=Da) + ImplicitSourceTerm(var=C_a,coeff=-17)) EqC_d = (TransientTerm(var=C_d)==-ExponentialConvectionTerm(coeff=V_vec,var=C_d) + DiffusionTerm(var=C_d,coeff=Da) + ImplicitSourceTerm(var=C_a,coeff=-8)) Eq = EqC_a & EqC_b & EqC_c & EqC_d This still returns an error, /users/tnk10/Downloads/fipy/fipy/tools/numerix.py:966: RuntimeWarning: overflow encountered in square return sqrt(add.reduce(arr**2)) /users/tnk10/Downloads/fipy/fipy/solvers/pysparse/linearLUSolver.py:93: RuntimeWarning: overflow encountered in square error0 = numerix.sqrt(numerix.sum((L * x - b)**2)) /users/tnk10/Downloads/fipy/fipy/solvers/pysparse/linearLUSolver.py:98: RuntimeWarning: overflow encountered in square if (numerix.sqrt(numerix.sum(errorVector**2)) / error0) <= self.tolerance: /users/tnk10/Downloads/fipy/fipy/solvers/pysparse/linearLUSolver.py:98: RuntimeWarning: invalid value encountered in double_scalars if (numerix.sqrt(numerix.sum(errorVector**2)) / error0) <= self.tolerance: /users/tnk10/Downloads/fipy/fipy/variables/faceGradVariable.py:158: RuntimeWarning: overflow encountered in divide N = (N2 - numerix.take(self.var,id1, axis=-1)) / dAP /users/tnk10/Downloads/fipy/fipy/variables/variable.py:1105: RuntimeWarning: invalid value encountered in multiply return self._BinaryOperatorVariable(lambda a,b: a*b, other) Assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that component A should be diffusing, I changed the DiffusionTerm EqC_a = (TransientTerm(var=C_a)==-ExponentialConvectionTerm(coeff=V_vec,var=C_a) + DiffusionTerm(var=C_a,coeff=Da) + ImplicitSourceTerm(var=C_a,coeff=1)) That seems to work.

Diffusion-Convection-Reactive Chemisty
Hello, I am having some trouble getting a workable convection coefficient on a reactive chemistry model with a vector velocity. I have reviewed several examples from the FiPy mailing list and tried several of the variations listed there. Originally, I was receiving the error that a coefficient must be a vector. Now I seem to be getting an error that says the index is out of bounds. Specific traceback is shown below, along with the code attachment. Could anyone suggest what I am doing wrong and how to fix it? I'm relatively new to Python and FiPy, specifically, so please bear with me as I am learning. Thank you all! -- Daniel DeSantis Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in runfile('C:/Users/ddesantis/Dropbox/PythonScripts/CFD Models/ConversionModel.py', wdir='C:/Users/ddesantis/Dropbox/PythonScripts/CFD Models') File "C:\Users\ddesantis\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\spyderlib\widgets\externalshell\sitecustomize.py", line 699, in runfile execfile(filename, namespace) File "C:\Users\ddesantis\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\spyderlib\widgets\externalshell\sitecustomize.py", line 74, in execfile exec(compile(scripttext, filename, 'exec'), glob, loc) File "C:/Users/ddesantis/Dropbox/PythonScripts/CFD Models/ConversionModel.py", line 107, in res = Eq.sweep(dt=dt, solver=solver) File "C:\Users\ddesantis\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\fipy\terms\term.py", line 236, in sweep solver = self._prepareLinearSystem(var=var, solver=solver, boundaryConditions=boundaryConditions, dt=dt) File "C:\Users\ddesantis\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\fipy\terms\term.py", line 170, in _prepareLinearSystem buildExplicitIfOther=self._buildExplcitIfOther) File "C:\Users\ddesantis\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\fipy\terms\coupledBinaryTerm.py", line 122, in _buildAndAddMatrices buildExplicitIfOther=buildExplicitIfOther) File "C:\Users\ddesantis\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\fipy\terms\binaryTerm.py", line 68, in _buildAndAddMatrices buildExplicitIfOther=buildExplicitIfOther) File "C:\Users\ddesantis\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\fipy\terms\binaryTerm.py", line 68, in _buildAndAddMatrices buildExplicitIfOther=buildExplicitIfOther) File "C:\Users\ddesantis\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\fipy\terms\binaryTerm.py", line 68, in _buildAndAddMatrices buildExplicitIfOther=buildExplicitIfOther) File "C:\Users\ddesantis\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\fipy\terms\unaryTerm.py", line 99, in _buildAndAddMatrices diffusionGeomCoeff=diffusionGeomCoeff) File "C:\Users\ddesantis\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\fipy\terms\abstractConvectionTerm.py", line 211, in _buildMatrix self.constraintB = -((1 - alpha) * var.arithmeticFaceValue * constraintMask * exteriorCoeff).divergence * mesh.cellVolumes File "C:\Users\ddesantis\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\fipy\variables\variable.py", line 1151, in __mul__ return self._BinaryOperatorVariable(lambda a,b: a*b, other) File "C:\Users\ddesantis\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\fipy\variables\variable.py", line 1116, in _BinaryOperatorVariable if not v.unit.isDimensionless() or len(v.shape) > 3: File "C:\Users\ddesantis\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\fipy\variables\variable.py", line 255, in _getUnit return self._extractUnit(self.value) File "C:\Users\ddesantis\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\fipy\variables\variable.py", line 561, in _getValue value[..., mask] = numerix.array(constraint.value)[..., mask] IndexError: index 100 is out of bounds for axis 0 with size 100 ConversionModel.py Description: Binary data ___ fipy mailing list fipy@nist.gov http://www.ctcms.nist.gov/fipy [ NIST internal ONLY: https://email.nist.gov/mailman/listinfo/fipy ]
