funkySetFields fatal error - Unknown patchField - hotRoom

Dear all,

I am trying to reproduce Bernhard's latest tutorial on swak4Foam from OFW14 using v-1906.

I have gone successfully through the first steps of the hotRoom case but when I try to implement the "column of fire" initial condition with

Code:

funkySetFields -time 0 -keepPatches -valuePatches "floor" -field T -expression "600" -condition "(pos().x>4.5 && pos().x<5.5 && pos().z>4.5 && pos().z<5.5)"

I get the following error:

Code:

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

swakVersion: 0.4.3 (Release date: Next release)

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

Not sure, but main functionalities of swak4Foam were transferred into OF starting from v1912. Please have a go to see if it helps.

Cheers. I'll give it a go.

Allow me to comment more on that issue though, hoping that it might be of any help.

Using the 'banana' trick and running just the buoyantPimpleFoam it is clear that OpenFOAM offers 116 possible patchField types, including lumpedMassWallTemperature.

Code:

However, when using the 'banana' trick with funkySetFields we get 68 patchFields types where the lumpedMassWallTemperature is nowhere to be found.

I have had exactly the same problem, Petros.

Have you found a solution to this?

Hi Tim,

Unfortunately I haven't found what caused this.

Petros

Same problem for alphaContactAngle

Dear Petros

I also have a similar problem during initializing files for the multiphaseInterFoam solver. Unfortunately does not "alphaContactAngle"

did you figure out how to solve it?

Code:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:

Unknown patchField type alphaContactAngle for patch type patch

Hi all,

For further reference, I have a workaround for that issue.

If funkySetFields complains about a specific patch type, you can first set a dummy patch type for your boundary condition, say:

Code:

yourPatchName01

{

                type            calculated;

                value           uniform 0;

}

then, run funkySetFields without error.
After that, you can change the patch type to the type you want, using a changeDictionaryDict. For example:

Code:

T

{        

                boundaryField

                {

                        yourPatchName01

                        {

                                type                externalWallHeatFluxTemperature;

                                kappa      solidThermo;

                                Ta                uniform 300;

                                h                uniform 1;

                                value                uniform 300;

                                kappaName        none;

                        }                

                }        

}

Hope it helps.
