Re: [Question #688685]: permeability - PFV

    Status: Answered => Open

Othman Sh is still having a problem:
It make sense to me. But when I tried it still I got errors. So I went
back to the oedometer code [1] and removed the triax part and reduced
the code to just permeability. I realized that it will work until I
remove the walls surrounding the packing. If I remove the walls and set
flow.boundaryUseMaxMin=[1,1,1,1,1,1] then it will give me this error

negative volume for an ordinary pore (temp warning, should still be safe)
*** stack smashing detected ***: <unknown> terminated
Aborted (core dumped)

Any idea why?


So now the code below  with the aabbWalls works fine (although the averageVelocity() results is super high!). 

Do you think that having a box (6 walls) surrounding a cylindrical
sphere packing will give different results than if the cylindrical
sphere packing was surrounded by a cylindrical wall?


Thanks,
Othman
