Hi!

I would like another variable to be written to the output, namely, I'm using the porousInterFoam solver and I would like to write mu every writeInterval.

I tried it with

 mu.write()

but this writes mu every timestep and I only want it at the specified writeIntervals. So I set up a corresponding field in the createFields.H:

 
volScalarField mu
( 
    IOobject
    (
      "mu",
      runTime.timeName(),
      mesh,
      IOobject::READ_IF_PRESENT,
      IOobject::AUTO_WRITE
     ),
     twoPhaseProperties.mu(),
     alpha1.boundaryField().types()
 );

in the solver mu is then set by

mu = twoPhaseProperties.mu()

The code compiles, however, after one timestep I get the following error message:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
request for volScalarField mu from objectRegistry region0 failed
available objects of type volScalarField are
11
(
K
rho
p_rgh
alpha1_0
nu
gh
nu1
p
rho_0
nu2
alpha1
)

From function objectRegistry::lookupObject<Type>(const word&) const
in file /home/openfoam/TryoutOF/openfoam211/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/objectRegistryTemplates.C at line 131.
FOAM aborting

Does anyone know what's the problem here?

Thank you,
Natalie

Why don't you write out nu?, if you look at the error then nu (volScalarField) seems to be available with respect to your code.

Hi!

I want to write mu since mu is somehow interpolated due to the twoPhases and I want to have a look at that.. nu is an input parameter and should be constant over the entire domain.

greetings,

Ok, now I understood.. Thanks for explaining..

create a file named "mu" in your case folder inside a 0 folder & set all BC as 0 value.

I am facing a similar problem, did you find a way to solve it?
if yes, could you please let me know how?
