We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

I tried to write a function to determine the wall cells of the inner cylinder (id=5) for pumping air into them, but so far Fluent refuses to understand this mass flow...

#include "udf.h"
 
 
DEFINE_EXECUTE_AT_END(find_first_near_wall_cells)
{
    Domain *domain;
    Thread *wall_thread;
    face_t f;
    cell_t c;
    Thread *adjacent_thread;
    real cell_dist;
 
    domain = Get_Domain(1);
    
 
    wall_thread = Lookup_Thread(domain, 5); 
 
 
    begin_f_loop(f, wall_thread)
    {
       
        c = F_C0(f, wall_thread);
 
       
        adjacent_thread = THREAD_T0(wall_thread);
        cell_dist = C_WALL_DIST(c, adjacent_thread);
 
 
        if (cell_dist < 0.001)
        {
            Message("Found adjacent cell to wall at face: %d\n", c);
        }
    }
    end_f_loop(f, wall_thread)
}
 
DEFINE_ADJUST(adjust_mass_source, domain)
{
    Thread *t;
    cell_t c;
    real mass_flow = 2;  
    real cell_dist;
 
 
    thread_loop_c(t, domain)
    {
        begin_c_loop(c, t)
        {
 
            cell_dist = C_WALL_DIST(c, t);
 
 
            if (cell_dist < 0.001)  
            {
 
                C_UDMI(c, t, 0) = mass_flow;  
            }
        }
        end_c_loop(c, t)
    }
}
