Hi Everyone,

I am wondering how I would go about putting a boundary condition on an internal wall. The idea is to close off two faces (set two faces as a wall) so that water does not flow through those faces. I have been reading posts and think that I can use topoSet and then createBaffles. Is this the right procedure? How exactly would I go about this? I am new to openFoam and still learning, any help would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks,
S

I've attached my mesh and a drawing of my mesh, with the faces I want to make walls in red ink.

Hi,
I've attached my blockMesh, topoSetDict, and createBaffles files and the error that I am getting after the createBaffles. However, it allows me to use the interFoam solver, but then when I go to view the simulation using paraView paraView shuts down and I get the paraFoam error. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
S
