Hello everyone

I´m using SRFSimpleFoam. So I use SRFVelocity as Boundary Condition(BC) for the Inlet in the Urel file. This works perfectly good.
But when I try to use SRFFreestreamVelocity as BC for another patch an error message occurs:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
keyword UInf is undefined in dictionary "/nfs/home/adam/OpenFOAM/adam-2.2.x/run/Bachelorarbeit/3sym-SRF/0/Urel.boundaryField.SHROUD"

file: /nfs/home/adam/OpenFOAM/adam-2.2.x/run/Bachelorarbeit/3sym-SRF/0/Urel.boundaryField.SHROUD from line 63 to line 66.

From function dictionary::lookupEntry(const word&, bool, bool) const
in file db/dictionary/dictionary.C at line 402.


I don´t understand this! The data and folders of both patches are in the same directory. So it should be no problem for OpenFoam to use both of them, if one works perfectly good!

I´d be glad for any help.

Best regards Tobias

My problem is, that I´m not very good in programming...
Do I have to move the folder of SRFFreestreamVelocity to another directory?

Hello,

it seems like at your patch the UInf variable isn't defined.
the patch entry should look like this:

    myPatch
    {
        type            SRFFreestreamVelocity;
        UInf            uniform (0 0 0);
        relative        no;
        value           uniform (0 0 0);    // initial value
    }

where UInf is the freestream velocity in the absolute frame.

Good luck!

Thank you very much!

As I looked for the patch files, I should have had a look on the required input for this patch.
I thought it was the same as for SRFVelocity.

Problem solved :-)
