Dear All,

I have compiled a new solver (according to the standard name it should be named buoyantPimpleDyMFoam) and when I try to use it, I get this error:

Could anyone help in finding the problem? Attached, the solver.

Thanks a lot,

Your code is attempting to perform a subtraction operation between two fields of different units (Foam tracks the units of dimensioned fields on the fly). I believe there are details on the [x x x x x x x] format in the users guide. Looking at your error in particular, it appears that one of your fields has been divided by density while the other has not.

Dear Kyle,

thanks for answering.

I am trying to find out which is the `wrong' line.. Isn't there a method to discover it?

Also, do you have any experience/time to help me?

Thanks,

Samuele

I walked someone though a debug process in this thread. You could give it a try:

Its likely that other users have posted more thorough debugging guides on this forum if you search around.

Dear Kyle,

thanks for help.

Well, I think that I discovered which is the `key point'.. In the file correctPhi.H there are the following lines:

    while (pimple.correctNonOrthogonal())
    {
        fvScalarMatrix pcorrEqn
        (
            fvm::laplacian(rAU, pcorr) == fvc::div(phi)
        );

        pcorrEqn.setReference(pRefCell, pRefValue);
        pcorrEqn.solve();

So, could you help me in writing a good correctPhi.H file?

Thanks a lot,

Samuele

PS: attached you can find the solver. Thanks!

Do you have a small test case set up that I would be able to use?

I'm not sure that your issue is in flux correction code you posted. The error you recieved:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:  Different dimensions for -=      dimensions : [1 0 -1 0 0 0 0] = [0 3 -1 0 0 0 0]

Is complaining about an attempted subtraction operation. I don't see an operation of that type in the code you posted.

[samiam1000]

Yes I have.

Could you give me your email and I'll send it to you? Write me at samuele.zampini@gmail.com and I'll get back to you, soon.

Also, I am now developing a different solver (starting from sonicDyMFoam instead of pimpleDyMFoam), but I can not make the mesh move.

Anyway, I'll write you soon and that would be easier, wouldn't it?

Thanks,
Samuele
