Dear All,

I am trying to use swak4Foam and it presents a very strange behaviour. Below my U file:

/*--------------------------------*- C++ -*----------------------------------*\
| =========                 |                                                 |
| \\      /  F ield         | OpenFOAM: The Open Source CFD Toolbox           |

\*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
FoamFile
{
    version     2.0;
    format      ascii;
    class       volVectorField;
    object      U;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

dimensions      [ 0 1 -1 0 0 0 0 ];

internalField  uniform (0.4298 0 0);
               
boundaryField
{
    bottomWall
    {
		type			groovyBC;
		value			uniform (0 0 1);
		variabiles	 	"a=6;";
		valueExpression	"vector (0, 0, a)";		
    }

    topWall
    {
		type			fixedValue;
		value			uniform (0 0 0);	
	}

    right
    {
        type            empty;
    }

    left
    {
        type            empty;
    }

    inflow
    {
     	type            cyclic;
    }
 
   outflow
    {
 		type            cyclic;
    }
}

This does not work. What it is strange is that if I use the variable k instead of a, then the simulation runs.
Since I need more than 1 variable, I can't simply use k instead of a.

Could you help,
please?

Thanks a lot,
Samuele

swak uses English. This is hard for me too as it is not my native language. "variabiles" is definitely not English. Is it Italian?

It's just a typo!

But why if I used k, then it worked?

Thanks a lot,

Probably (you didn't say which solver you use) because your solver has turbulence and k is the field of the turbulent kinetic energy
