PartVTK with laminar+SPS viscosity formulation

davidkepsilon

I have noticed that the partvtk does not function when a computation is performed with the viscosity treatment set to "2". It gives the following:

PartVTK v1.41 (17-12-2013)

*** Exception (JForces::Calculate)
Text: Viscosity treatment is not valid.

Changing the value of the viscosity treatment to "1" allows it the to then run without problem. Is this a bug in PartVTK?

No, this means that PartVTK to compute, for example, acceleration, only solves the momentum equation using artificial viscosity.
We are planning to include the two options in next release of PartVTK
