Hello,

I hope I started my Thread in the right Subsection.
To my Problem:
I'm new to OpenFOAM. In order to use OpenFOAM with the Flameletmodel, I wanted to install FlameletFOAM. Therefore I followed this instructions: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ex...n/flameletFoam

Due to the Fact, that openFOAM 2.3.0 wasn't availible via "sudo apt-get install openfoam230", I installed OpenFOAM 2.3.1.

I followed the instruction and installed cantera 2.0.0.
In the Step of Installing the counter-flow diffusion flame solver I got a problem:
When I was typing "make" to my terminal, I get an error:

nf@NF-VPC:~/cantera-2.0.0/Cantera-CounterflowFlame/src$ make
g++  flamelet.o StFlow_2.o TransportFactory_2.o Lewis1Transport.o -lf2c -pthread -L/opt/cantera/lib -lcantera -lctmath -lexecstream -lsundials_cvodes -lsundials_ida -lsundials_nvecserial -L/opt/cantera/lib -lctlapack -lctblas  -lctf2c  -lblas -llapack  -o flamelet

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lctlapack
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lctblas
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [flamelet] Fehler 1

Because of this error, there is also no executable flamelet file in the main folder.


Could you please help me?


Thanks a lot

Hi,

I tried to install flameletFoam by following the instructions on https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/E...n/flameletFoam.

At the moment, I have cantera2.0.0 installed and the executable 'flamelet' was successfully created. I believe I was doing fine on the installation up till Section 2.2, the step 'setting an environment variable to the flameletFoam "src"-folder'.

However, when I ran the script ./Allwmake, I got an error message. Since the message is quite long, I'll post just the errors that pop out throughout the message.

Anybody has any idea why these errors occur?
I am running OpenFOAM2.3.0 (beginner user) on Ubuntu 14.04LTE if that bit of info helps. Also, if the full message is required, please let me know.


Thank you in advance for any help.

Dear Thalhah,

did you make sure to source OF2.3 before installing flameletFoam? There are some OF3.0 paths in your log file.

Regards, hagen

[thalhah90]

Dear Hagen,

Ahah..my mistake! My current version of OF is 3.0. I guess that's where the problem is.

In your email, one of the suggestions is changing the code to fit OF3.0 but I'm not entirely sure how to do that since I'm still quite new to OF.

Anyway, I think I shall have to install OF 2.3. I will let you know if that works. Thanks.

Regards,
Thalhah

[thalhah90]

After installing an older version of OpenFOAM (OF 2.3.0), I had success on executing Allwmake.

Now that I have cantera and flameletFoam installed, i wanted to use the canteraToFoam utility. However, after running blockMesh, and after typing:

canteraToFoam

in the terminal (in ~/OpenFoam/flameletFoam/tutorial/pilotDiffusionFlame/les directory), an error message appears:

canteraToFoam: command not found

This may sound like a basic question, but how do I tackle this error and get the canteraToFoam utility working?

Thanks in advance for any help!

[elainest]

hi,

I have the same problem with thalhah90.

In the terminal (in ~/OpenFoam/flameletFoam/tutorial/pilotDiffusionFlame/les directory), canteraToFoam: command not found.

Could anyone help us?

Thanks in advance!

[yedu]

Same problem as above. Can anyone help please. Also, blockMesh is creating erroneous log files for canteraToFoam.

[thalhah90]

I finally have flameletFoam working!
Installing OpenFoam 2.1.x instead of 2.3.0 apparently solves the problem.
Not sure why the latter version didn't work though..

[yedu]

So, does flameletFoam and cantera work in 2.1.x as well?

[Tobi]

Of course, if not, you have do manipulate the code that it works.

Alternatively you can use the flameletModel based on the research by CRECK Modelling. Check out my homepage for further information, I converted it to different versions and made further improvements.

PS: Cantera does not belong to FOAM.

[thalhah90]

Yedu-Yes. flameletFoam could successfully run once the canteraToFoam utility works. Cantera works OK. It was able to generate the flamelet library regardless of the OF version.

Tobi-Thank you for sharing the page. I guess there's a lot more to explore

[yedu]

Hey,
Which cantera version is preferred? flameletFoam compilation guide says cantera 2.0.0. Should I stick with the guide or should I go ahead and install the latest version?

P.S : Thanks Tobi for the link. It sure has lots of interesting things.

I just saw this.
Why it is not working is due to the fact that they changed classes and the therefore you have to check out the code of Hagen and change it to the actual version. As far as I saw in the past, he implemented hard-coded stuff in the turbulence models (not the best solution). Hence, you have to manipulate all stuff that he made not dynamically.

[yedu]

I tried Openfoam 2.1.0. But still when I execute canteraToFoam, it says command not found.

[Tobi]

Here you did either not compile the stuff correctly or link the program to your $PATH variable.

Normally if you compile it, it will pushed to the $WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR and therefore (after oyu load the FOAM variables) it will add this to your path. If the compilation is not correct, no program will be generated and hence there is no program to execute

To check it easily:

cante «« now double tab it

If you get no auto completion or even a list of available programs that start with »cante«, then there is no program called »canteraToFoam«

The flameletFoam that I was able to install works with Cantera2.0.0 (as recommended by the guide).

[Hagen]

Dear Thalhah, Dear Yedo,

if you want to use flameletFoam with OpenFOAM-2.3.0, you need to install the correct version that is located here: https://github.com/flameletFoam/flameletFoam-2.3.0/

As Tobi pointed out, we made some changes in the libraries which is why you need another version, if you want to use flameletFoam with OpenFOAM-2.1.0. This version is provided here: https://github.com/flameletFoam/flameletFoam-2.1.x/

The script for cantera is a different story. We tested it with cantera 2.0.0. That's why we recommend to use this version. However, it has nothing to do with the OpenFOAM version you are using.

Regards,
Hagen

[Tobi]

Dear Hagen,

just on question. Will your library be extended in feature, or are you still programming the flamelet-model you used, like non-adiabatic conditions, radiation model implementation etc.?

As far as I know, the flamelet model introduced by CRECK-Modeling is not anylonger available on the official homepage (I used that model during my thesis in detail, thats the reason why I know everything about that model instead of yours ) -- in any case. The problem was that there is no further development (especially for publicity). They introduced the new laminarFoam but I am not sure if that can handle turbulence as well as before (I don't think so).

Thanks in advance,

[yedu]

Hey Tobi,
I think the problem is with linking cantera. How do I know if it is linked to the path? When I execute ./Allwrun on a tutorial case in flameletFoam, the log files are created. But the log.canteraToFoam says command not found. I checked in the flameletFoam folder. Inside applications/utilities/preProcessing, there is a folder CanteraToFoam with all the necessary files. But somehow it is not getting linked. What should I do?

Hi,
I have installed Cantera 2.0.0 in OpenFoam 2.3.0.

While running the 'make' to make executable file (.exe), I am getting an error-
