wallHeatFlux error
 

I'm trying to simulate a forced convection problem using the buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam solver.

When I run the wallHeatFlux utility, I get this error:

the simulationType in the turbulenceProperties file is RASModel. If i change it to laminar, the utility works and calculates the fluxes on the walls. What could be the problem?
contents of the constant folder attached.

Thanks

I am confused: You use buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam but with compressible turbulence model/wall function? Have a look at the tutorials for this solver. If I remember correctly it only uses an expansion factor to calculate the density change by temperature but not a full thermophysical model.

Dear Raghav

I am having same error. Can you please advise how you solved it. I shall be grateful.

Thanks

Hi Can any one please help me to overcome it.. Thank you very much.
