Hey Bernhard, I pulled 1.5-

Hey Bernhard,

I pulled 1.5-dev revision 1105, and groovyBC today and tried to compile on opensuse 11.1. I ran into the similar problems as Marco. Per your suggestion, I was able to compile groovy if I commented out groovyBCPointPatchFields.C in Make/files. The demo pulsedPitzDaily will still run without the PointPatchFields.

It seems that there is a case-sensitive issue with PointPatchField, e.g.,

"MixedPointPatchField.H" vs.
"mixedPointPatchField.H"

"PointPatchFieldMapper.H" vs.
"pointPatchFieldMapper.H"

If I rename these files, I still get the following error:

groovyBCPointPatchFields.H:47:37: error: macro "makePointPatchFieldTypedefs" requires 7 arguments, but only 1 given
groovyBCPointPatchFields.C:45:30: error: macro "makePointPatchFields" requires 3 arguments, but only 1 given

Checking the 1.5-dev repository, it seems the checkin at Rev. 1058 (Added support for point-Fields) may be the culprit?

Eric

Hi! It seems that there is

Hi!

It seems that there is a slight difference of the dev-version (I tested/developed groovyBC with the OpenCFD-version). Until I have sorted this out users of the dev-version should get the last "unpointed" version using this command:

svn -r1057 checkout https://openfoam-extend.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/openfoam-extend/trunk/Breede r_1.5/libraries/groovyBC

This compiles, but doesn't have the point-BCs

Bernhard

Hi Bernhard, thanks for you

Hi Bernhard,

thanks for your care. I'll compile the 1.5.x.git version to use groovyBC cause I need point-things! ;)

Marco

Hi again, works smoothly wi

Hi again,

works smoothly with 1.5.x... ;)

Thanks!!

Hello all! I am trying to get

Hello all!
I am trying to get the pitzDaily case going with the groovyBC condition. When I ran the case, I got this error message. Can somebody tell where I am making a mistake?
The error is as follows -->

gradientInternalCoeffs cannot be called for a genericFvPatchField (actual type groovyBC)
on patch inlet of field U in file "./pitzDaily/0/U"
You are probably trying to solve for a field with a generic boundary condition.

From function genericFvPatchField<type>::gradientInternalCoeffs( ) const
in file fields/fvPatchFields/basic/generic/genericFvPatchField.C at line 692.

Thanks,

Hello all! I am trying to get

This usually happens if OpenFO

This usually happens if OpenFOAM doesn't "know" the boundary condition

I assume that you're talking about the Demo-case (so it should be set up with the correct libs-entry in the controlDict and that you successfully compiled the library). Have a look at the start of the run whether there is anything about loading/not loading the libgroovyBC.so

Bernhard

Thanks Bernhard. Probably lib

Thanks Bernhard.
Probably libgroovyBC.so is not being loaded.
This is what it reads:

could not load libgroovyBC.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I am doing this for the first time. Could somebody guide me to where I can find information getting it set?

Sorry for the trouble.

Thanks,

Thanks Bernhard. I got it to

Thanks Bernhard.
I got it to work.

And now the version on the SVN should also work with the dev-version. Please note that to recognize the dev-version it assumes that an environment-variable FOAM_DEV is defined (etc/bashrc was modified in the SVN to provide that variable)

epsilon inlet profile with groovyBC

Hi Bernhard

I am a fairly new OpenFoam user.
I have been able to download and implement groovyBC.
I use it to specify a inlet velocity profile U(y) = (u*/K)ln((y+yo)/yo) and it works great.
I would like to specify a profile for epsilon at the inlet as well.
How would I do this with groovyBC?

I apologize if this is a silly question.

Regards
Eugene Joubert

I don't understand the problem. It seems like you already did the more complicated task (specify a vector value). Specifying epsilon (which is "only" a scalar) should be pretty straightforward: set the type of the BC to groovyBC at the inlet and specify an expression

Bernhard

epsilon profile for groovyBC

Hi Bernhard

Thank you for the speedy reply.

Here is more detail:
I am attempting to implement a fully developed atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) for my simulation.
For the k-epsilon model a simplified ABL can be defined by three equations:

U(y) = (u*/K)ln((y + yo)/yo); velocity profile

k(y) = u*²/sqrt(Cmu); constant

epsilon(y) = u*³/K(y + yo); epsilon profile

So far I have implemented U(y) with groovyBC by modifying the pulsedPitzDaly inlet conditions for my simpleFoam case.
My inlet is defined as follows:

boundaryField
{
inlet
{
type groovyBC;
variables "zp=pts().z;zc=pos().z;minZ=toFace(min(zp));minZc= min(zc);Ustar=0.03;K=0.4;para=-(Ustar/K)*log((pos().z + minZc)/(minZc))*normal();";
valueExpression "para";
value uniform (0 0 0);
}

As I understand it, the "para" equation would be evaluated in groovyBC for the different vertices along the inlet boundary and then asssigned to that patch as a velocity inlet.

So my question is:
How could I change the inlet definition above to incorporate the epsilon equation as well?

Again I apologize if the answer is actually trivial.

Regards
Eugene

epsilon inlet profile with groovyBC

Bernhard

Sorry for that. I obviously just have to define groovyBC with the equations in the epsilon and k initial field directories.

I notice that for my case both the velocity as well as epsilon profiles look fine all the way but have a noticeable increase for the upper most node. Do you have any idea why this may happen?

Thanks again for the great tool.

Eugene Joubert

Hi Suraj,

I was also trying to run the PitzDaily case with groovyBC and ran into the same problem as you. Could you tell me how to add the libgroovyBC.so to the run? Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Prapanj

Hi Prapanj

You should add the following to your controlDict

libs ( "libgroovyBC.so" );

According to the wiki on groovy BC you might try with

libs ( "libOpenFOAM.so" "libgroovyBC.so" );

if you are experiencing problems with paraFoam.

Have a nice weekend,

Niels

Hallo Bernard

My text in bold blue.

I have the same problem as Marco (I think). I am new to OpenFOAM, but this is what I did:

The utility bison complains about an option '-r' that it doesn't have. Probably because it is an old version. I've added a section http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Co...Pre-requisites that shows how to check for the version of bison.

There are two options:

Install an up-to-date version of bison
Go to Make/mybison and remove the option '-ra' from the call to bison there. It is not strictly necessary. This removes the symptom (and the generated report is only needed for debugging) but bison MAY fail for other reasons because it is ... old

Hallo Bernard,

Thank you for your response. I very much appreciate it. I have downloaded version 2.4.1 of bison on the page you recommended. I did a ./configure; make; make install;

However I still get the old version displayed when I type "bison -V". Don't know if it maybe have not installed correctly:

luther@luther-laptop:~/OpenFOAM/luther-1.5/run/groovyWaveTank$ bison -V
bison++ Version 1.21.9-1, adapted from GNU bison by coetmeur@icdc.fr
Maintained by Magnus Ekdahl <magnus@debian.org>

However, I then did a "wmake libso" again in the sources of groovyBC and some warnings came out, but at the end it said that groovyBC.so is up to date. I run a few of the Demos in the Demos directory and thay seemed to have worked whithout error.

But when I run interFoam on groovyWaveTank I got an error. Do you perhaps know how I can fix it? Sorry if the questions are trivial, but I am new to openFOAM and appreciate your help alot. Here is the error:
