[waves2Foam] Compiling waves2Foam for OF8

Siebo · April 12, 2022, 08:31

Hey everyone,

the Institute I work at wants to use the waves2Foam toolbox for wave generation together with OpenFOAM 8, and it is my duty to do it. Has anyone done this before?

My approach is to just try to compile waves2Foam and then go through the output of the terminal to find the errors and correct them. Currently I'm stuck on this error:

Code:

waveTheories/externalWaveForcing/oceanWave3D/oceanWave3D.C:511:53: error: passing ‘const Internal’ {aka ‘const Foam::DimensionedField<double, Foam::surfaceMesh>’} as ‘this’ argument discards qualifiers [-fpermissive]
  511 |         phi.internalField() = phiTemp.internalField();
      |                                                     ^
In file included from /opt/openfoam8/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/DimensionedField.H:389,
                 from /opt/openfoam8/src/finiteVolume/lnInclude/fvMesh.H:58,
                 from lnInclude/externalWaveForcing.H:44,
                 from waveTheories/externalWaveForcing/oceanWave3D/oceanWave3D.H:43,
                 from waveTheories/externalWaveForcing/oceanWave3D/oceanWave3D.C:27:

My first problem here is that I can't find the file oceanWave3D.C, I tried using

Code:

find $WM_PROJECT_DIR oceanWave3D.C

and the same for $WAVES_DIR, but there is no such file or directory.

The second problem is that I don't fully understand this error. I looked up the API guide ( https://www.openfoam.com/documentati...onedField.html ) and my explanation for this error so far is that some function tries to change a variable that was declared as constant. Since I can't find the filde oceanWave3D.C I can't see which function that is... So I'm a little bit lost here.

Kind regards
Siebo

Today I finally managed to find the file oceanWave3D.C in the $WAVES_DIR/applications/utilties/.../externalWaveForcing directory. The fix is way more simpler than I thought. Following the code snippet from oceanWave3D.C from line 500 to 515

Code:

    // Map the phiTemp -> phi
#if EXTBRANCH==1
    phi.internalField() = phiTemp.internalField();
#elif OFPLUSBRANCH==1
    #if OFVERSION<1706
        phi.internalField() = phiTemp.internalField();
    #else
        phi.ref() = phiTemp.internalField();
    #endif
#else
    #if OFVERSION<400
        phi.internalField() = phiTemp.internalField();
    #else
        phi.ref() = phiTemp.internalField();
    #endif
#endif

The bashrc in $WAVES_DIR/bin/bashrc recognizes the OF8 version as $version=80 and thus goes down the if-branch to

Code:

#if OFVERSION<400

This can easily be extended by an appropriate statement for OFVERSION==80 or the bashrc can be adjusted to recognize the OF version as 800 instead of 80.

I think I will try out the bashrc solution first and will edit this post once done.

EDIT:

I changed the bashrc file in $WAVES_DIR/bin/ as follows:

I deleted lines 26 to 31 and replaced it with the following code:

Code:

# The vers_check part is for OpenFOAM versions 5 and later. At the time I implemented this it was done for OpenFOAM 8.

vers_check=`echo $WM_PROJECT_VERSION`

if [ $vers_check -ge 5 ]
then
	if [ `uname` = "Darwin" ]
	then
	    version=`echo $WM_PROJECT_VERSION"-0-0" | sed -e 's/\.x/-0/' -e 's/\./\'$'\n/g' -e 's/[v+-]/\'$'\n/g' | grep "[0-9]" | head -3 | tr -d '\n'`
	else
	    version=`echo $WM_PROJECT_VERSION"-0-0" | sed -e 's/\.x/-0/' -e 's/\./\n/g' -e 's/[v+-]/\n/g' | grep "[0-9]" | head -3 | tr -d '\n'`
	fi
else
	if [ `uname` = "Darwin" ]
	then
	    version=`echo $WM_PROJECT_VERSION"-0" | sed -e 's/\.x/-0/' -e 's/\./\'$'\n/g' -e 's/[v+-]/\'$'\n/g' | grep "[0-9]" | head -3 | tr -d '\n'`
	else
	    version=`echo $WM_PROJECT_VERSION"-0" | sed -e 's/\.x/-0/' -e 's/\./\n/g' -e 's/[v+-]/\n/g' | grep "[0-9]" | head -3 | tr -d '\n'`
	fi
fi

I decided to just document my proceedings on this project here, for other people that have similar problems or want to do the same.

The next error line that was generated when compiling with the new changes to the bashrc was as follows:

Code:

waveTheories/externalWaveForcing/oceanWave3D/oceanWave3D.C: In member function ‘void Foam::waveTheories::oceanWave3D::updatePhi()’:
	waveTheories/externalWaveForcing/oceanWave3D/oceanWave3D.C:527:32: error: no match for ‘operator==’ (operand types are
	const Foam::fvsPatchField<double>’ and ‘const Foam::fvsPatchField<double>’)
	  527 |    phi.boundaryField()[patchi] == phiTemp.boundaryField()[patchi];
	In file included from /opt/openfoam8/src/finiteVolume/lnInclude/fvsPatchFields.H:34,
            	 from /opt/openfoam8/src/finiteVolume/lnInclude/surfaceFields.H:41,
                 from /opt/openfoam8/src/finiteVolume/lnInclude/surfaceInterpolationScheme.C:28,
                 from /opt/openfoam8/src/finiteVolume/lnInclude/surfaceInterpolationScheme.H:308,

                 from waveTheories/externalWaveForcing/oceanWave3D/oceanWave3D.C:27:

This was resolved by changing line 527 in the file oceanWave3D.C from

Code:

phi.boundaryField()[patchi] == phiTemp.boundaryField()[patchi];

to

Code:

phi.boundaryFieldRef()[patchi] == phiTemp.boundaryField()[patchi];

The next error was the following:

Code:

fvPatchFields/waveAlpha/waveAlphaFvPatchScalarField.C: In member function ‘virtual void Foam::waveAlphaFvPatchScalarField::write(Foam::Ostream&) const’:
	fvPatchFields/waveAlpha/waveAlphaFvPatchScalarField.C:325:22: error: ‘const class Foam::Field<double>’ has no member named ‘writeEntry’
	  325 |     this->refValue().writeEntry("refValue", os);
	      |                      ^~~~~~~~~~

obviously occuring for every other value of fvPatchField<scalar>::write(os) and fvPatchField<vector>::write(os)

This was resolved by adopting the changed write syntax that was changed from OF6 to OF7. Together with a version comparison the following code was implemented in waveAlphaFvPatchScalarField.C from line 321 onwards

Code:

// Write

//void waveAlphaFvPatchScalarField::write(Ostream& os) const

	    this->valueFraction().writeEntry("valueFraction", os);
	    this->writeEntry("value", os);
	}
    #endif
#endif

EDIT: Another error of the same kind occured, so for completeness of this thread I'm adding the fix here as well.

The error:

I also got this warning:

this was easily fixed by changing line 62 and 63 of $WAVES_DIR/src/waves2FoamProcessing/preProcessing/probes/pointDistributions/concatenatedDistribution/concatenatedDistribution.H

With the documented changes LAPACK-3.3.1, SPARSKIT2, OCEANWAVE3D, FENTON4FOAM and LIBRARY compiles without error. Next I need to fix the solvers and would be grateful for any kind of help. The output when compiling is as follows:

The first block of errors are just about relinking the directories. If any of you have input on how to tackle this problem in a smart way, I would highly aprreciate it. So far I am comparing directories between OF4 and OF8 on openfoam.org C++ source guide.

The relinking of libraries is done so far, the complete options file in $WAVES_DIR/applications/solvers/solvers800/waveFoam/Make/options now looks like this

Hey everyone, the next errors were mainly syntax problems or version updates of code files.

First the following error occured:

Code:

waveFoam.C:47:10: fatal error: turbulentTransportModel.H: No such file or directory
   47 | #include "turbulentTransportModel.H"
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fix: In waveFoam.C change the line 47 to

Code:

#include "momentumTransportModel.H"

==============================================

After fixing that, I got a series of errors from createFields.H

Code:

In file included from /opt/openfoam8/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/postProcess.H:105,
                 from waveFoam.C:61:
./createFields.H: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
./createFields.H:77:9: error: ‘incompressible’ was not declared in this scope
   77 | autoPtr<incompressible::turbulenceModel> turbulence
      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For that I had to fix the syntax in createFields.H and add another #include in waveFoam.C

in createFields.H line 47:

Code:

autoPtr<incompressible::momentumTransportModel> turbulence

in waveFoam.C add the following line:

Code:

#include "kinematicMomentumTransportModel.H"

==============================================

After that a series of errors with correctPhi.H occured

Code:

In file included from waveFoam.C:74:
correctPhi.H: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
correctPhi.H:9:1: error: no matching function for call to ‘CorrectPhi(Foam::volVectorField&, Foam::surfaceScalarField&, Foam::volScalarField&, Foam::dimensionedScalar, Foam::geometricZeroField, Foam::pimpleControl&)’
    9 | );
      | ^

for that I changed line 75 in waveFoam.C

Code:

#include "CorrectPhi.H" //originally #include "correctPhi.H"

Next, there were a lot of error regarding the functionality of alphaEqn and related files. I won't list them all, for this post's overview sake, but most of them looked similar to these:

Code:

alphaEqn.H:48:37: error: ‘class Foam::immiscibleIncompressibleTwoPhaseMixture’ has no member named ‘cAlpha’
   48 |     surfaceScalarField phic(mixture.cAlpha()*mag(phi/mesh.magSf()));
      |                                     ^~~~~~
alphaEqn.H:51:9: error: ‘icAlpha’ was not declared in this scope; did you mean ‘isalpha’?
   51 |     if (icAlpha > 0)
      |         ^~~~~~~
      |         isalpha

This was simply fixed by copying the alpha code files from interFoam of OF8, for my installation I fixed it by executing the following ubuntu commands in terminal:

Code:

cp /opt/openfoam8/applications/solvers/multiphase/interFoam/alphaEqn.H /home/kaihi/OpenFOAM/kaihi-8/applications/utilities/waves2Foam/applications/solvers/solvers800/waveFoam/
cp /opt/openfoam8/applications/solvers/multiphase/interFoam/alphaEqnSubCycle.H /home/kaihi/OpenFOAM/kaihi-8/applications/utilities/waves2Foam/applications/solvers/solvers800/waveFoam/
cp /opt/openfoam8/applications/solvers/multiphase/interFoam/alphaSuSp.H /home/kaihi/OpenFOAM/kaihi-8/applications/utilities/waves2Foam/applications/solvers/solvers800/waveFoam/
cp /opt/openfoam8/applications/solvers/multiphase/interFoam/rhofs.H /home/kaihi/OpenFOAM/kaihi-8/applications/utilities/waves2Foam/applications/solvers/solvers800/waveFoam/
cp /opt/openfoam8/src/twoPhaseModels/twoPhaseMixture/VoF/createAlphaFluxes.H /home/kaihi/OpenFOAM/kaihi-8/applications/utilities/waves2Foam/applications/solvers/solvers800/waveFoam/

last but not least for this problem I needed to include the new file createAlphaFluxes.H in waveFoam.C. It was added in line 73 (inside the int main block)

Code:

#include "createAlphaFluxes.H"

===============================================

The next error was the following:

Code:

In file included from waveFoam.C:121:
UEqn.H: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
UEqn.H:7:21: error: ‘class Foam::IncompressibleMomentumTransportModel<Foam::transportModel>’ has no member named ‘divDevRhoReff’
    7 |       + turbulence->divDevRhoReff(rho, U)
      |                     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~

which was fixed by changing UEqn.H in line 7

Code:

+ turbulence->divDevTau(rho, U)

===============================================

After that an error with the pressure equation occured as well:

Code:

In file included from waveFoam.C:126:
pEqn.H: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
pEqn.H:38:29: error: ‘class Foam::fvMesh’ has no member named ‘solver’; did you mean ‘Foam::dictionary Foam::solution::solvers_’? (not accessible from this context)

      |                             ^~~~~~

As always, I am glad for any input or even smarter solutions to my previous problems. Once I find the fix the this I will edit it in this post.

fixed by changing line 21 and line 22 of file /home/kaihi/OpenFOAM/kaihi-8/applications/utilities/waves2Foam/applications/solvers/solvers800/waveFoam/Make/options

Code:

So with the steps documented above, wave2foam compiles without error messages. Next I will try to get a wave2foam tutorial case to work on OF8. For that I will use the simplest case of a standing wave which is found in $WAVES_DIR/tutorials/waveFoam/standingWave

just trying to run this from scratch yields the following:

Code:

> blockMesh

works fine, no errors

Code:

> setWaveParameters

works fine, no errors

Code:

> setWaveField

yields following output:

Code:

FOAM exiting

This was quite easy to resolve. Just copy the fvSchemes.30 and fvSolution.30 files from the fvFiles directory. Once running the setWaveField command again, the openfoam is suggesting using the new syntax. So I changed the fvSolution to the new syntax which looks like this:

Code:

    U
    {
        solver	         PBiCG;
        preconditioner   DILU;
        tolerance        1e-09;
        relTol           0;
    };

Upon running setWaveField again, openfoam is complaining about the missing "transportProperties" file, which can be found in the $WAVES_DIR/tutorials/commonFiles/transportProperties.23 directory. Just copy this into the standingWave/constant/ directory.

Now I can use setWaveField without errors. The waveFoam command starts the calculation and runs just fine

So now we are finally done with porting waves2foam to OF8, I hope me documenting the steps will help someone in the future

hello,Siebo, thanks for your sharing.
I also met errors when complied waves2Foam with OpenFOAM1912 using Ubuntu virtual system on Windows.
when I complie the "OceanWav3D" in "ThirdParty" folder, I met the error:

Type mismatch between actual argument at (1) and actual argument at (2) (INTEGER(4)/REAL(8)).
make: *** [makefile:138：ORDERINGS/ccn.o] error 1
mv:'libskit_gfortran.a' folder state (stat): No such file or directory

Do you have any idea of this error? really appreciate any suggestions.

Hey Lige, sorry for the late reply. If you still have problems with compiling waves2Foam check out this post: waves2Foam on an Ubuntu 18.04 with OpenFOAM 1712

I hope it helps.

Kind regards

April 12, 2022, 08:31	Compiling waves2Foam for OF8	#1
Siebo New Member Kai Siebo Join Date: Mar 2022 Posts: 12 Rep Power: 4	Hey everyone, the Institute I work at wants to use the waves2Foam toolbox for wave generation together with OpenFOAM 8, and it is my duty to do it. Has anyone done this before? My approach is to just try to compile waves2Foam and then go through the output of the terminal to find the errors and correct them. Currently I'm stuck on this error: Code: waveTheories/externalWaveForcing/oceanWave3D/oceanWave3D.C:511:53: error: passing ‘const Internal’ {aka ‘const Foam::DimensionedField<double, Foam::surfaceMesh>’} as ‘this’ argument discards qualifiers [-fpermissive] 511 \| phi.internalField() = phiTemp.internalField(); \| ^ In file included from /opt/openfoam8/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/DimensionedField.H:389, from /opt/openfoam8/src/finiteVolume/lnInclude/fvMesh.H:58, from lnInclude/externalWaveForcing.H:44, from waveTheories/externalWaveForcing/oceanWave3D/oceanWave3D.H:43, from waveTheories/externalWaveForcing/oceanWave3D/oceanWave3D.C:27: My first problem here is that I can't find the file oceanWave3D.C, I tried using Code: find $WM_PROJECT_DIR oceanWave3D.C and the same for $WAVES_DIR, but there is no such file or directory. The second problem is that I don't fully understand this error. I looked up the API guide ( https://www.openfoam.com/documentati...onedField.html ) and my explanation for this error so far is that some function tries to change a variable that was declared as constant. Since I can't find the filde oceanWave3D.C I can't see which function that is... So I'm a little bit lost here. Kind regards Siebo
