Unhappy Error in initializing a non uniform velocity field

Hi everyone,

I am trying to simulate 2d mixing layer problem in OF for which I have to initialize the velocity field with a known expression. I am trying to do it using SWAK4 FOAM. My U file and FSFdict file are given below. Here I have changed the expression, but Ux and Uy are simply fcn(X,Y) . When I ran funkySetFields -time 0, I got error message which is also given below.

Senior members, plz help me !!

field U;

variables (
"Ux= pos().x*
"Uy=pos().y"

);

expression "vector(Ux Uy 0)";

condition "mag(pos().y)<1";
}
);

Sorry friends... I have found my mistake (trivial one actually ). The 0/U file has internal field as uniform. I supplied a non uniform field and then fsf overwrote it as I wanted.

Hi Vikas

Interesting post. I am having a similar problem with funky set fields. Can you elaborate how you finally corrected the error.

Thank you.
