Hi all,

I need to built a new b.c (for the electric potential-phi) in order to couple a multi-region case. More specific the mathematical form of my b.c into the interface is Eb-Ea=0.
where Eb:electric field for solid and Ea for fluid region.
For this reason I am going to use the codedFixedValue b.c. Thus my question is:
How can I use the E variable in system/Changedictionary/phi file in order to code the above equation in phi b.c .?

Is the equation reader a solution .? if yes, how can I use it .?

thanks in advance !!

any suggestions ?

Because the utility of codedFixedValue for coupling boundary conditions it is an essential issue I will try to be more specific with my problem.

Firstly the multi-region case has two regions, solid and fluid(air)
Lets take the variables phiA and phiD
phiA is the electric potential for the fluid region and
phiD is the electric potential for the solid region

I want to built a coupling boundary condition with the form : phiA-phiD=0
the code for the fluid interface is :

const scalarField&phiDPatchField =
this->patch().lookupPatchField<volScalarField,scalar>(“ phiD”);
operator == (phiDPatchField);

However when I am trying to compile the case the following error occurs:

request for volScalarField phiD from objectRegistry air failed
available objects of type volScalarField are

4
(
(rhoA|epsilon0)
phiA
magnEa
rhoA


which means that the solver denies to read the phiD variable because is created in the solid region .

So my question is : How can I use/call a variable from a different region .? (here the phiD for air region)

Hi

I have exactly the same question as posted above. Did anyone find any resolution to this issue ?

Thanks
