TIC Nozzle Simulation

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi, I am a starter here, and trying to simulate the Nozzle flow by the new feature of this edition, High Mach Number Physics.
I already came up with the contour of it and import it into the comsol. I thought it should be a pretty straightforward stuff to do the settings such as setting the material properties, boundary conditions, the inlet flow Mo=0 and set the outlet flow=supersonic, mesh and run. However it doesn't appear to be so easy, after I put the compute button then it appears: Invalid field variable in property Llimitfivar. I have tried to modified some parameters but it still doesn't work. Could anyone who has done that tell me what problem could it be and what should I be aware of?

Best regards,
Ming Yi

I have the same problem when trying to use the k-omega turbulence model. The problem doesn't occur when using the k-epsilon model, but the k-epsilon crashes because the solution diverges. At least I can get some preliminary results from the successful iterations with the k-epsilon, but I can't get a solution at my full velocity value.

You need to add a new study. The old study does update correctly the solver when you change the turbulence model.

Hi Yi Ming

i am facing the same problem , i am trying to study converging diverging nozzle with high mach number at the exit.
can you suggest, if you found any solution around your problem.
or if you can send your model for reference , it would be really helpful for me.

Thanks
regards Mehlam

No solution yet?
Not even an idea about this variable?
