ElmerGUI Helmhotlz convection velocity problem

Post by iczajka »

I think, there is a problem with convection velocity statement processing in Helmholtz solver.
When convection velocity is set in ElmerGUI in Helmholtz page - it is ignored.
It sets convection velocity in Equation section of sif file.

When this statement ie. ,,convection velocity 1 = 10" in Material section it has influence on solution.

So problem is either with ElmerGUI, or with Helmholtz solver.
Problem solution is just put convection velocity in right place (material section) in sif file by hand :)

It is not big problem, but it is a bit misleading

Hi,

just a hint: The GUI entries are defind in xml files which are rather easy to understand and modify. They are located in the bin directory in your Elmer program directory. In your case, you can have a look at helmholtz.xml and see if you can fix the problem there, I am sure the Elmer team will be happy to include your improved xml in the distribution... :)

I think, problem is solved :)
I modified helmholtz.edf file, now convection velocity is in material section

below is modified file.
I think this is useful modification.
