Hi,
Greeting all!!!
I want to implement "probe" to get temperature variation with change in time in chtMultiRegionFoam tutorial (multiRegionHeater) of OpenFOAM-2.4.
So as per incompressible/pisoFoam/pitzDaily/system/controlDict file i have made following changes.. in my case..
Quote:
functions
{
heater
{
type probes;
functionObjectLibs ("libsampling.so");
enabled true;
outputControl timeStep;
outputInterval 1;

fields
(
T
);
probeLocations
(

(0 0 0)

);

}
}
But some how it is showing following kind of error....

Quote:
Selecting radiationModel opaqueSolid
Selecting absorptionEmissionModel constantAbsorptionEmission
Selecting scatterModel none
Selecting sootModel none
Adding fvOptions

Can you kindly specify what should I specify in this control Dict file to use this probe properly??

Thanks & regards,

This should be some mesh issue or something with your probe location. OpenFoam tells your where the problem is:

-> FOAM FATAL ERROR:

request for objectRegistry region0 from objectRegistry probe_check failed
available objects of type objectRegistry are

5
(
rightSolid
bottomWater
heater
topAir
leftSolid
)

You should check if your probe locations is within the specified region and if you have some misspellings in your dictionary.

Best regards

Greeting all!!!

@fabian...thanks for your reply...

I have cross checks the controlDict file...
1. There is no spelling error as per tutorial case...
2. I have taken different points from polyMesh directory to check it. But same error is coming...

Baran

The code for your probes seems to be outdated (I use OF 2.4.x). Have a look, e.g., at multiphase/interDyMFoam/ras/sloshingTank2D/system/controlDict how probes are used.

I am also using openFoam-2.4.
I have taken the command from
tutorial/incompressible/pisoFoam/pitzDaily/system/controlDict
It is also showing the same error... according to your suggestion

Mostly some other issue is there which I am missing...

Baran

I checked it and I am able to reproduce your error for the multiRegionHeater tutorial case. However, I do not have a clue at the moment, it seems to be related to the mesh and the various regions. To register the probe OF tries to access region0, which is not present. I think you have to dive into the code to fix this issue.

Best regards
Fabian

I found your problem. You have to add the region in your probe function, as I have done below:

Code:
    probes
    {
        type            probes;
        functionObjectLibs ("libsampling.so");
        enabled         true;
        outputControl   timeStep;
        outputInterval  1;

	region heater;

        fields
        (
            p
        );

        probeLocations
        (
            ( 0.0254 0.0253 0 )
            ( 0.0508 0.0253 0 )
            ( 0.0762 0.0253 0 )
            ( 0.1016 0.0253 0 )
            ( 0.127 0.0253 0 )
            ( 0.1524 0.0253 0 )
            ( 0.1778 0.0253 0 )
        );
Best regards
Fabian

Greeting all!!
@Fabian thanks a lot for your reply..it works in this way.....
Some observation I have seen as follows...
1. If we enter different region for probe location then it will give some garbage value....but not going to show any error...

But i have another doubt....If we want to probe in two different fields then how to do this using probe??
I am trying in this way... but it is only reading last entry region.that means for this case it only log data for topAir....
Code:
    probes 
    {    
        type            probes;
        functionObjectLibs ("libsampling.so");
        enabled         true;
        outputControl   outputTime;  //timeStep;
        outputInterval  1;
    region        heater;


    probeLocations
        (

      (-0.013333333 0 -0.05)

     );

    fields
    (

    );


    }

      probes
    {
        type            probes;

        );

        fields
        (
            T
        );
     }
Can anyone have any idea for this...??

Quick answer: You are using the same name for each named block:
Code:
probes 
{
...
}

probes 
{
...
}
When you should use different names, for example:
Code:
heaterProbes
{
...
}

topAirProbes 
{
...
}
