naming wall patches in OpenFoam
 

Dear all:
I am modeling a rectangular tank with patch names as follows:
vertices
(
(-0.5 -20 -10.0) // Vertex back lower left corner = 0
(-0.5 20 -10.0) // Vertex back lower right corner= 1
(-0.5 20 10.0) // Vertex back upper right corner= 2
(-0.5 -20 10.0) // Vertex back upper left corner = 3

(0.5 -20 -10.0) // Vertex front lower left corner = 4
(0.5 20 -10.0) // Vertex front lower right corner= 5
(0.5 20 10.0) // Vertex front upper right corner = 6
(0.5 -20 10.0) // Vertex front upper left corner =7

);

blocks
(
// block0
hex (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7)
(40 40 1)
simpleGrading (1 1 1)
);

//patches
boundary
(
lowerWall
{
type patch;
faces
(
(0 1 5 4)
);
}
rightWall
{
type patch;
faces
(
(1 2 6 5)
);
}
atmosphere
{
type patch;
faces
(
(2 3 7 6)
);
}
leftWall
{
type patch;
faces
(
(0 4 7 3)
);
}
frontAndBack
{
type Empty;
faces
(
(4 5 6 7)
(0 3 2 1)
);
}
);

blockMesh runs ok and gives the following output:

But when I try to view it in paraFoam, I get the following error message:

musa@musa-Satellite-M35X:~/OpenFOAM/musa-2.0.1/run/tutorials/multiphase/interDyMFoam/ras/sloshingTank2D$ paraFoam

It appears that my attempt to view the mesh in paraFoam is affecting U in folder 0 which contains:
FoamFile
{
version 2.0;
format ascii;
class volVectorField;
object U;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

dimensions [0 1 -1 0 0 0 0];

internalField uniform (0 0 0);

boundaryField
{
walls
{
type movingWallVelocity;
value uniform (0 0 0);
}
}

How can I correct this? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
