Hallo everyone,

I try to run AAchenbomb under OpenFOAM 1.6-ext and following error came out: "keyword sprayIteration is undefined in dictionary ".../AAchenbomb/constant/sprayProperties"".
Does anyone known how to fix it? Thanks.

Sincerely,

Tao

Greetings sanpishou and welcome to the forum!

Try using the information from the same tutorial for OpenFOAM 1.7.x: https://github.com/OpenCFD/OpenFOAM-...oam/aachenBomb

Best regards,
Bruno

Hallo Bruno,

thanks for your reply. I tried the tutorial for OpenFOAM 1.7.1. but the same error happened again. Do I need to update my Openfoam version? I heard that the 1.6 -ext is relatively more stable.

Best Regards
Tao

Hi Tao,

Something very strange is going on there with your cases... which exact tutorial are you trying to run and which commands are you running?

And are you 100% certain you're running the right binaries? Maybe you think you're running 1.6-ext, but in fact you're running OpenFOAM 2.1.1!?

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

thanks for the quick reply. I'm running the tutorial for OpenFOAM 1.7.x in 1.6-ext version. I copied the display in the terminal below, hope you can find the problem.

Hi Tao,

This is very strange... which commit of 1.6-ext are you using? To know this, run in 1.6-ext's folder:

git log -n1

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

I found a definition of sprayIteration (below) and added into the sprayProperties. It runs.
sprayIteration
{
sprayIterate 1;
sprayRelaxFactor 1;
minimumParcelMass 1e-14;
}

after a while this problem occurred:

From function specieThermo<thermo>::T(scalar f, scalar T0, scalar (specieThermo<thermo>::*F)(const scalar) const, scalar (specieThermo<thermo>::*dFdT)(const scalar) const) const
in file /build/buildd/openfoam-1.6-ext-1.6.0/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/src/thermophysicalModels/specie/lnInclude/specieThermoI.H at line 73
Maximum number of iterations exceeded. Rescue by HJ

do you have a clue, how to fix it?

Regards
Tao

Hi Tao,

I would have a better clue if you had answered my previous question

Hi Bruno,

this is what happened when I typed the code:
tao@tao-laptop:~$ git log -n1
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

does this mean I have a big problem?

The idea is to execute the command when working in OpenFOAM's folder:

cd /build/buildd/openfoam-1.6-ext-1.6.0/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/
#or do
cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR
git log -1

Hi Bruno,

still the same problem after vacation . I posted the command below. Can you help me find out a solution?

Hi Tao,

You haven't answered which commit version you're using of 1.6-ext, as I asked in the previous post.

Best regards,
Bruno

[sanpishou]

Hi Bruno,

i installed the 1.6-ext version under the guide of http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...ucid_10.04_LTS .
Hope this helps. With the command "git log -1" still not work.

Tao

Hi Tao,

That's a really old build of 1.6-ext!

You better follow the following instructions for getting a more recent version of 1.6-ext: http://openfoam-extend.git.sourcefor...Ubuntu;hb=HEAD

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

really so old? Anyway, thanks for the new link.

I reinstalled ubuntu 10.04 and tried to install the new version. However it didn't work well. This was what happened after I tried to install git:

tao@tao-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install git-core
Reading package lists... Done

do you happen to know why? Thanks in advance!

Hi Tao,

Does your Ubuntu machine have a working Internet connection?

Hi Bruno,

problem solved. Thanks for all your help.
