Hi Wyldckat,

I am having the same issues as fkika. I have a smaller model with convection and heat transfer working correctly with the same thermophysical properties.

I was using 2.4 but I just upgraded to 3.0 using the standard instructions on the Openfoam website. Both versions received the same error.

FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Kappa defined to employ fluidThermo method, but thermo package not available

From function temperatureCoupledBase::kappa(const scalarField&) const
in file turbulentFluidThermoModels/derivedFvPatchFields/temperatureCoupledBase/temperatureCoupledBase.C at line 138.

I tried understanding the source code, however it is fairly difficult to understand what each variable is.

Thanks!

Hi Atkinson!

You provided more information than the previous fellow, however, you only provided the answer to one out of four questions Bruno did...

  1. Which OpenFOAM version are you using?
  2. Which installation instructions did you follow for installing OpenFOAM?
  3. Can you reproduce this error with one of OpenFOAM's tutorials?
  4. How is the content of the files "thermophysicalProperties" in your case? If you don't know where they are, run:
    Code:
    find . -name thermophysicalProperties

Well, first of all, I never saw this message before. I don't know if it is a new, or modified, message included from version 2.4 on (the last version I worked with is 2.3.x), or if I am too good!

Having said that, according to what the error message says, I would point out the following possible information you likely missed:
  • You defined kappa to be computed as fluidThermo in a solid region. Check regionProperties file.
  • You defined, as Bruno suggested, something wrong in thermophysicalProperties file.

Maybe if you check this information you can figure out what is going wrong.

Hope it helps.

Best regards,

Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your quick reply. I have attached a txt file onto the forum with my thermophysicalpropperties but it doesn't seem to show up on windows systems. Here is the code;

Code:
thermoType 
{ 
    type            heRhoThermo; 
    mixture         pureMixture; 
    transport       const; 
    thermo          hConst; 
    equationOfState perfectGas; 
    specie          specie; 
    energy          sensibleEnthalpy; 
}

mixture
{
    specie
    {
        nMoles          1;
        molWeight       4;
    }
    thermodynamics
    {
        Cp              5195; 
        Hf              0;
    }
    transport
    {
        mu              2.71191e-4;
        Pr              0.66;
    }
}
i have already got this set of properties to work on another model where I just used convection. This is the next stage where I add convection and conduction together.

I am using helium as a compressible flow, in the new version of openfoam it insisted I used a mut file instead of a nut file (which seemed a bit odd).

I have not tried to get this error on any tutorials, how would I go about doing that?

I installed the new Openfoam version 3.0 using the instructions on the website. The instructions are found here; http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu.php
I did not receive any errors on my system.

Thanks!

Greetings to all!

Curiously enough, I helped update the code documentation for this boundary condition a few days before 3.0.0 was released: http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1875

And Alex has the right idea:

But I believe the problem is in one of the T files for one or more of the solid regions, because the error message is related to the boundary condition "temperatureCoupledBase" and it has defined "fluidThermo" instead of "solidThermo".

General implementation uses "mut" for compressible flow, even if the fluid is incompressible.

Remember following the 3 tutorial chapters from the OpenFOAM User Guide? There it explains how to play around with the tutorial cases
Another example is this: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ge..._-_planeWall2D - which is essentially a tutorial that forces the person reading it to play with the case and test what each bit does...

@satkinson: And if you still have problems with figuring out the problem, please follow the instructions given here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...-get-help.html

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi All,

I checked the Temperature files as mentioned and one of them was incorrectly labled as fluidthermo. Thanks so much!

Dear Bruno one question about turbulentHeatFluxTemperature BCs. Since you once helped in updating the documentation (http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1875) maybe you have some idea.
In OpenFOAM 2.4 it was possible to use an incompressible solver like buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam and set in the T file a patch with type turbulentHeatFluxTemperature
In OF 3.0 on the contrary I get the error
Quote:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:

Valid patchField types are :

...
I can't use turbulentHeatFluxTemperature anymore only compressible::turbulentHeatFluxTemperature is there.
I have noticed that in OF24 turbulentHeatFluxTemperature can be found in incompressible:
https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM...hScalarField.H

while in OF301 can be found only in compressible:
src/TurbulenceModels/compressible/turbulentFluidThermoModels/derivedFvPatchFields/turbulentHeatFluxTemperature/turbulentHeatFluxTemperatureFvPatchScalarField.H
Do you know the reason?

I used the following workaround to solve the issue:

1) switch solver: use buoyantSimpleFoam instead of buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam
2) copy from the tutorial /heatTransfer/buoyantSimpleFoam/hotRadiationRoom/constant the thermophysicalProperties file; and set the equationOfState to Boussinesq;
Code:
thermoType
{
    type            heRhoThermo;
    mixture         pureMixture;
    transport       const;
    thermo          hConst;
    equationOfState Boussinesq; //hConst;
    specie          specie;
    energy          sensibleEnthalpy;
}

pRef            100000;

mixture
{
    specie
    {
        nMoles          1;
        molWeight       28.9;
    }
    thermodynamics
    {
        Cp              1000;
        Hf              0;
    }
    transport
    {
        mu              1.8e-05;
        Pr              0.7;
    }
    
    equationOfState 
    {
        rho0             1.225;  
        T0               273;     
        beta             2;  
    }
}
3) in the 0/T file put compressible:: before turbulentHeatFluxTemperature; and add the kappa lines
Code:
floor 
{     type compressible::turbulentHeatFluxTemperature; 
      gradient uniform 0; 
      heatSource power; 
      q uniform 64; 
      kappa fluidThermo; 
      kappaName none; 
}
in this way it runs without errors:

Code:
SIMPLE: convergence criteria
    field p_rgh     tolerance 0.01
    field U     tolerance 0.001
    field h     tolerance 0.001

Then I have modified the geometry of this tutorial like as above image in which I have defined following regions by topoSetDict

topAir (same as tutorial but differ in dimension)
bottomAir (same as tutorial but differ in dimension)
heater (as a dielectric material which is kapton film)
leftSolid (as a top electrode which is copper)
rightSolid (as a bottom electrode which is copper)
innerelec (as a inner electrode which is also copper)

I have set themophysical properties for each region according to their material properties except topAir and bottomAir as they are same air regions in my case like tutorials.

I have run following commands in the terminal:

Code:
blockMesh
topoSet
splitMeshRegions -cellZones -overwrite

But I found following error after executing
mpirun -np 4 chtMultiRegionFoam -parallel

How did you solve the problem with the foam::error:rintStack? I am facing the same problem like you did in OpenFOAM 2.2.2. I perform simulations with compressibleInterFoam on a case with round about 2e6 cells. In serial the simulation runs perfect but would take weeks to finish. In parallel run I get the following error massage (I cleaned the full error output to show only errors from one calculation node):

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The error occurs when OpenFOAM tries to initialize the thermophysical model of the air phase. I only changed the geometry from the tutorial case. Moreover, the error shows a problem of the thermophysical model, not the case itself. Thanks for your help.


Cheers

This error is caused by rhoThermo model for fluid region, so please check your initial value settings in 0/p, T, k, epsilon, p_rgh file.
If the initial value is equal 0 in fluid region or solid-fluid interface, floating point exception will be caused.

Dear Foamers,
I am very new to openfoam and CFD, kindly I need your help.

I have been simulating conjugate heat transfer between solid(wall) to fluid.
So i used externalWallHeatFluxHeatTransfer boundary condition on the wall surfaces and used kappaMethod as solidThermo on my temperature(T) file.
After i started to run my solver, I encounter this error ,

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Cannot find a fluidThermo or solidThermo instance

From function Foam::tmp<Foam::Field<double> > Foam::temperatureCoupledBase::kappa(const fvPatchScalarField&) const
in file derivedFvPatchFields/temperatureCoupledBase/temperatureCoupledBase.C at line 124.

FOAM exiting.

How to solve this error?

Thanks
Rishi
