Hello,

I downloaded ihFOAM. But i don't know how to compile new solver in existing OPENFOAM
I went through the steps given in Manual but it is not working when i do "git checkout"
it gives me error "fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git"
i have already installed git in ubuntu 12.04
Can anyone please tell me how can i compile?

Thanks in advance

Hi Premal,

If you write the following line in the terminal:

git clone git://github.com/phicau/IHFOAM.git

you should obtain all the source code. If the git protocol does not work for you, you can download it using https (less efficient transfer, but not a big deal):

git clone https://github.com/phicau/IHFOAM.git

or you can download the zipped files from the github site, take a look at the bottom of the lateral bar. Then you just have to unzip it.

In any case you get a folder called IHFOAM, from which you can follow the instructions of the 2.3 section on the wiki:

http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Contrib/IHFOAM

Pablo

Hi Premal,

as far as I can see you have already registered in our web site:

http://ihfoam.ihcantabria.com/source-download/

You should have got an e-mail with the download link to the reference materials, including some tutorials. Please check your e-mail spam folder. If you didn't get anything send me a PM.

Best,

Pablo

Dear Pablo,

I got link and i downloaded source.
But my confusion is IHWAVEDict where i put or in which directory?
and i just want to run simple case so can i do any change in constant and system Directories?

Thanks Pablo

Hi Premal,

the source code and the reference materials are independent. If you got the e-mail you should have downloaded a file called IHFOAM_materials.zip, which includes a reference folder and a tutorials folder, as stated in the wiki page.

If you have any trouble downloading IHFOAM_materials.zip let me know by PM.

Pablo

From your working route I can see that you are using OpenFOAM 2.2.2, please run the tutorials of version 2.2.2 only: OF222

[premal]

Thanks a lot for help

Hi,

I download and compile IHFOAM without any apparent error. I am using OF2.3.0 version, when I try to run baseWaveFlume tutorial from OF222 I get the error

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
Unknown patchField type buoyantPressure for patch type patch

could you help me to solve, there is a cross version problem?

Thanks in advance

Hi Tomás,

Note that we do not officially support version 2.3 due to the problems with pressure calculations, as noted in the IHFOAM wiki. That is also why we do not provide a porous solver, only interFoam with the BCs linked.

There are a number of changes between versions 2.2 and 2.3. One of them is the pressure BC at the walls, which used to be called buoyantPressure and in the latest version is fixedFluxPressure.

If you wish to use 2.3 I suggest you to adapt the 2.2 cases, comparing the changes between the both versions of the damBreak tutorial provided by OpenFOAM (openfoam222/tutorials/multiphase/interFoam/laminar/damBreak), easily found online. It shouldn't be too difficult.

Best,

Pablo

Dear Kasra,

I am not familiar with OpenFOAM for Windows, I have never tried it myself, but for the error messages it appears to me like you have problems with the write permissions. Sorry for not being more specific or helpful.

Pablo
