Hi Niels and waveFoamers

when i try to change the wavetype by stokesSecond or stokesFifth the error comes out

the waveProperties.input

seaLevel	0.00;

// A list of the relaxation zones in the simulation. The parameters are given
// in <name>Coeffs below.
relaxationNames (inlet outlet);

initializationName outlet;

inletCoeffs
{
    // Wave type to be used at boundary "inlet" and in relaxation zone "inlet"
    waveType    stokesSecond;  
    
    // Ramp time of 2 s
    Tsoft       2.525;

    // Water depth at the boundary and in the relaxation zone
    depth       0.4;

    // Wave period
    period      2.525;

    // Phase shift in the wave
    phi         0.000000;

    // Wave number vector, k. 
    direction  (1.0 0.0 0.0);

    // Wave height
    height      0.022;
    
    // Specifications on the relaxation zone shape and relaxation scheme
    relaxationZone
    {
        relaxationScheme Spatial;
        relaxationShape  Rectangular;
        beachType        Empty;
    
        relaxType   INLET;
        startX      (-7.8 0.0 -1);
        endX        (0 0.0  1);
        orientation      (1.0 0.0 0.0);
    }
};

outletCoeffs
{
    waveType    potentialCurrent;
    U           (0 0 0);
    Tsoft       2;

    relaxationZone
    {
        relaxationScheme Spatial;
        relaxationShape  Rectangular;
        beachType        Empty;    

        relaxType   OUTLET;
        startX      (20 0.0 -1);
        endX        (30 0.0  1);
        orientation      (1.0 0.0 0.0);
    }
};

the error

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
keyword debug is undefined in dictionary "/home/tings/OpenFOAM/tings-2.3.0/OpenFOAM-2.3.0/applications/utilities/waves2Foam/tutorials/waveFoam/waveFlume-stokessecondorder/constant/waveProperties.inletCoeffs"

FOAM exiting

So, what should i do?

thanks

Dear Tings,

As the error message states `debug' has not been defined in `waveProperties.inletCoeffs'.

Go into your waveProperties file and add `debug false;' or `debug true;' after 'height 0.022;'

debug is a Boolean option (also mentioned in the error message) i.e. one requiring a `yes or no' type response, that helps identify whether or not you are using the correct wave theory for the specific input variables you've entered. If you set it to `false' it'll do nothing, if you set it to `true' it'll produce an output based on the validity of the chosen wave theory.

Good luck,

Ed

Dear Ed

Thank you very very much for helping me analyse and solve the problem. i have run the case successfully.

Best regards!
