Dear all!

I modified a code (chtMRF) and it runs without problems on a single CPU. At the moment I parallelize (here on 4 CPUs), it crashes in the first time step (error message see below).

What I did is I introduced a source for the energy equation of region1 (last line):

Code:
tmp<fvScalarMatrix> TEqn
        (
            fvm::ddt(rho*cp, T)
          - fvm::laplacian(K, T)
          - fvc::div(fvc::interpolate(Qr)*mesh.magSf())
        );
where Qr is created as volScalarField(IOobject()) in "region1" and initialized with zero. In order to update the boundary field of Qr from "region0" according to a certain condition, I added the following before the energy equation is solved:

Code:
if(condition) 
{
    Qr.boundaryField()[patchID] == QrRegion0.boundaryField()[patchID];
}
The solver crashes at the moment the energy equation of "region1" (modified one) is solved. Thus I assume that Qr is not "fully" updated from all CPUs. I m not sure if thats the problem but e.g. for the sum of a scalar value there is something like the "reduce" function which collects the value from all CPUs. Does somebody have an idea how i could avoid this problem??

I greatly appreciate your comments!!

Cheers,
Aram

Dear all!

Found the solution to my problem mentioned above. I took the BC solidWallMixedTemperatureCoupled to see how boundary patches are handled in parallel, and voil:

Code:
        const directMappedPatchBase& mpp = refCast<const directMappedPatchBase>
            (
                T.boundaryField()[patchID].patch().patch()
            );
            // Force recalculation of mapping and schedule
            const mapDistribute& distMap = mpp.map();
           
            Qr.boundaryField()[patchID] == QrRegion0.boundaryField()[patchID];

        // Swap to obtain full local values of neighbour Qr
            mapDistribute::distribute
            (
                Pstream::defaultCommsType,
                distMap.schedule(),
                distMap.constructSize(),
                distMap.subMap(),           // what to send
                distMap.constructMap(),     // what to receive
                Qr.boundaryField()[solidPatchID]
            );
I compared simulations on a single CPU with the one on 4 CPUs and the results match well.

Cheers,
Aram

Hi Aram,

it has been a while, but i looks as if i am facing the same problem right now. (see http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...-parallel.html)

I do not really get, what you changed to get it to work, could you explain that a liitle bit more detailed?

Thanks in advance.
Nicklas
