Hi friends,

I want to add if statement to openfoam solver :

if (Re > 1000)
{
CD=24/Re;
}

else
{
CD=0.44;
}

But I can't implement it!!!

error is :

calcVdj.H: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
calcVdj.H:30:21: error: no match for ‘operator>’ in ‘Re > 1.0e+3’
calcVdj.H:30:21: note: candidates are:

This is not very detailed, but maybe you have a type problem. Re must be e.g. of type scalar.

You can add a line upfront:

scalar Ree = Re;

Replace all your Re by Ree. Look at the compilation error. Openfoam will tell of which type Re is (e.g. it has dimensions).

As the variable Re been defined as a scalar (or at least a double?) It is not a per-default variable of the solver so you need to define it. The operator > is defined for the scalar type...

Hi Bruno.I define Re number as scalar.I want to know how i can use if or while statement.

thank you.

You should post more context, i.e. where Re and CD are initialized.

Hi all,

I am new to open Foam.I have the a problem same as discussed above . i want to use a for loop to assign a variable value to each cell in my mesh . How can i do it??? and where i have to create this loop. any help will be appreciated.

Regards
Ajay

Here just some code lines, how you can do it. You will find it preat all over the code:

    forAll(owner, facei)
    {
        ssf[facei] =
            deltaCoeffs[facei]*(vf[neighbour[facei]] - vf[owner[facei]]);
    }

The forAll statement is very useful. It automatically determines the size of the vector (owner), the loop variable (facei). The square bracket assignes the individual row value.

This will not work in some part of the code, e.g. in matrix solvers, but elsewhere it does.

Daniel

Hi danny,

First of all thanks for your quick reply. I will try what u have said. Can u tell me what is meant by this line it will not work in matrix solvers. I am working in porousSimpleFoam and basically i want to assign porosity to each cell in mesh.
