[foam-extend 3.2] fixedNormalSlip not working for pointVectorField

Phicau · November 28, 2016, 04:04

Dear all,

when I run the floatingObject tutorial in foam-extend 3.2 and set the atmosphere BC in the pointDisplacement field to:

Code:

    atmosphere
    {
        type            fixedNormalSlip;
        n               (0 0 1);
        value           uniform (0 0 0);
    }

the solver does not know about fixedNormalSlip. This is the error log:

Code:

Create time

Create dynamic mesh for time = 0

Selecting dynamicFvMesh dynamicMotionSolverFvMesh
Selecting motion solver: displacementLaplacian


--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
Unknown patchField type fixedNormalSlip for patch type patch

Valid patchField types are :

24
(
angularOscillatingDisplacement
angularOscillatingVelocity
calculated
cyclic
empty
fixedValue
generic
global
mixed
oscillatingDisplacement
oscillatingFixedValue
oscillatingVelocity
processor
sixDoFRigidBodyDisplacement
slip
surfaceDisplacement
surfaceSlipDisplacement
symmetryPlane
timeVaryingUniformFixedValue
uncoupledSixDoFRigidBodyDisplacement
uniformFixedValue
value
wedge
zeroGradient
)


file: /run/floatingObject/0/pointDisplacement::boundaryField::atmosphere from line 31 to line 33.

    From function PointPatchField<PatchField, Mesh, PointPatch, MatrixType, Type>::New(const PointPatch&, const DimensionedField<Type, Mesh>&, const dictionary&)
    in file /foam/foam-extend-3.2/src/foam/lnInclude/newPointPatchField.C at line 220.

FOAM exiting

Is there any specific reasons why fixedNormalSlip does not support pointVectorFields? It does in vanilla.

Best,

Pablo

hello
Have you solved this problem? I meet the same problem in foam-extend 3.1.
