Maybe some bug in leastSquares
 
Maybe some bug in leastSquaresVectors.c

Description:
some error in calculation of dd in leastsquare vector

Source file:
leastSquaresVectors.c

function
void Foam::leastSquaresVectors::makeLeastSquaresVectors () const

if (p.coupled())
{
forAll(pd, patchFacei)
{
const vector& d = pd[patchFacei];

dd[faceCells[patchFacei]] +=
(pw[patchFacei]*pMagSf[patchFacei]/magSqr(d))*sqr(d);
}
}

dd maybe done by the following:
dd[faceCells[patchFacei]] +=
(1.-pw[patchFacei])*pMagSf[patchFacei]/magSqr(d))*sqr(d);

also a question:
for the couple boundary,dd is calculated only for P cell(owner),why not for N cell(neighbour)?

Yes you are right this is a bu
 
Yes you are right this is a bug, the second use of pw[patchFacei] is as (1 - pw[patchFacei]) but the first is inconsistent and incorrect. Here is the corrected http://www.cfd-online.com/OpenFOAM_D...hment_icon.gif leastSquaresVectors.C to replace the file in OpenFOAM-1.4.1/src/finiteVolume/finiteVolume/gradSchemes/leastSquaresGrad

On the coupled boundaries only the owner contribution needs to be calculated, the neighbour contribution being calculated by the "other-side" of the couple.

Thanks for the bug report and proposed solution

Henry
