ozs is on a distinguished road
I am new to openfoam and I use swak4foam to calculate the mass flow rate of a internal face, and I use the code in the controlDict as follows:
Code:
massFlowRate
    {
        type        swakExpression;
        valueType    surface;
        surfaceName    interface;
    outputControlMode    outputTime;
    writeStartTime    off;
    surface
    {
        type                      cuttingPlane;
        functionObjectLibs        ("libsampling.so");
        planeType              pointAndNormal;
            pointAndNormalDict
            {
                basePoint       (0 0.01 0);  // Notet that the plane does not match up with the mesh
                normalVector    (0 1 0);
            }
            interpolate         true;

        
    }    
        expression "rho*U & Sf()"; 
        accumulations (
            sum
        );
        verbose true;
    }
but error happens as follows afer running one timestep:
Code:

so, why the error happens? I am looking forward for your help.

thanks.
