groovyBC and the pow(x,y) function
 
Hej,

I wanted to implement a velocity profile with groovyBC. Unfortunately, for some reason I cannot use the pow(x,y) with a non integer :-) the following is supposed to be implemented for the velocity

Code:

    inlet
    {
        type            groovyBC;
        variables      "a=0.39556664;b=2.671836655;distance=0.015-sqrt(sqr(pos().y)+sqr(pos().x));";
        valueExpression "vector(0,0,b*pow(distance,0.39556664))";
        value          uniform (0 0 0);
    }

where I tried having a instead of the number withing the pow function as well, but then it said it was missing a numerical value. Maybe somebody has an idea. I get a floating point exception and everything points to swak4foam. The error message is

OK. That a is ont used can be considered a bug (I just checked the grammar and pow currently accepts a literal scalar as a second argument. Fixing that would require a change in the grammar. Please write a bug-report at the openFOAM-extend-Mantis if you consider it important

Floating point exception


I beg to differ: swak doesn't throw the error. It is the pow-function of Foam ;)

My first suspicion: are you sure that all values of distance are bigger than 0? Because pow(x,0.3955) with negative x does NOT evaluate to a real number (which might be the cause for the FPE)

Sorry, I didn't wanna insult the swak4foam lib :) i personally like it alot :-)

I just found my mistake, thanks for the tip with the negative value input for x.

Will do a bug report.
