Cluster OpenFOAM [Solved]

May be this is your problem!

Usualy the Solver patch is /home/user/openfoam/user-1.7.0/applicatons/solvers/multiphase/bubblefoam

And tutorial patch is usualy

/home/user/openfoam/user-1.7.0/run/tutorials/multiphase/bubblefoam/case

It must be something like this in all machines of cluster.

Try to install openfoam from ubuntu pack in all machines. I think it will work.

Will this procedure work if substituting the name properly in OF1.5-dev?

I would try it myself, but I am waiting on my ethernet switch to come in. And I am looking for workarounds if there are issues.

Hi
I have been stuck on a problem related to simulation of a solidification problem on multiple processors. The problem is that at the pressure reference cell (pRefCell), I get a very weird behavior. Here is the liquid fraction contour when the simulation is performed on multiple processors.

Similar problem has been reported on:
(1) Poisson eq w setReference works serial diverges in parallel
http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...-parallel.html

(2) interfoam blows up on parallel run
http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...allel-run.html

(3) temperature anomaly at pressure reference cell
http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...ence-cell.html
What has been suggested in these posts is: (1) using GAMG solver instead of PCG as the pressure solver on parallel run, and (2) adjusting the fluxes after including the buoyancy term. I have applied both of the comments, although the second comment does not make a full sense for me, but still have the problem.
Please let me know if you have any comments.
