buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam
 

hi openfoamers

i have some trouble in using solver buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam
i got the following error message when i run it:


Selecting RAS turbulence model kEpsilon


--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Invalid wall function specification
Patch type for patch fixedWalls must be wall
Current patch type is patch

i probably understand what this message wants to talk to me , but in fact in my blockMesh ,i rly difined the fixedWalls in type of wall without faults
and in the folder 0 i also defined all the variable in type wallfunction like this:


fixedWalls
{
type epsilonWallFunction;
value uniform 0.00001;
}


i m appriciate it if someone could help me figure it out !

Hi gaofend,

at least in two of your posted blockMeshDicts you defined your walls as "patch fixedWalls" and not "wall fixedWalls".

You can control the definition in "constant/polyMesh/boundary" once again, too.

Martin

Have you taken a look in the constant/polyMesh/boundary -file? Does it say there that the fixedWalls patch is indeed of type wall?

hi martin

thank you , you are right , it works well now !
see you in my next question :)

all the best

hi Joel Lehikoinen
thank you , you are right , i fixed it out in boundary file

all the best
