Hello everyone,

I've been using OpenFOAM to build a compressible flow model using the rhoCentralFoam solver.

One issue that I found is in the available options for the thermophysicalProperties library. Reading through the documentation, there are 7 options available for the transport key under thermoType. The one I need to use is icoTabulated, as I would like to have the thermal conductivity and viscosity as functions of the temperature, read from a table (which is exactly what icoTabulated does).

However, setting up the model in this way and running the solver immediately gives an error (as shown in the attachment), stating that icoTabulated is not a supported transport type.

My question is two-fold:
- why is this so, in particular because other options, such as polynomial, would allow the specification of a temperature-dependent only property?
- is there a way around this, aside from the option of building my own library to implement the properties as I need them?

I appreciate any insight and feedback! Thanks.
