chiven is on a distinguished road
The simpleFoam solver is used. And a problem is met.

The inlet velocity condition is set as follows.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
pump-in
{
type surfaceNormalFixedValue;
value uniform -0.9611;
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------
However, failed. The errors are reported:
.................................................. ............................................
keyword refValue is undefined in dictionary "/home/g2/e090012/OpenFOAM/e090012-1.5/run/tutorials/simpleFoam/stratification/0/U:ump-in"
file: /home/g2/e090012/OpenFOAM/e090012-1.5/run/tutorials/simpleFoam/stratification/0/U:ump-in from line 31 to line 32.
From function dictionary::lookupEntry(const word& keyword) const
in file db/dictionary/dictionary.C at line 213.
FOAM exiting
.................................................. .............................................
Then I revised it as:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
pump-in
{
type surfaceNormalFixedValue;
value -0.9611;
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------
still failed, and the errors are the same.

But the case can successfully run with "fixedValue" type.

Any comments? Thanks in advance.
