SalvusApfel is on a distinguished road
Hello guys,

I'm new to this page and to openFOAM, so I hope this thread is in the right place
My aim is to modify the temperature of a baffle within the code of the scalarTransportFoam solver.
So I copied the dictionary of scalarTransportFoam and modified it to ''MYscalarTransportFoam''. In addition I inserted a piece of code, which should set every entry of the scalar field of T to the value 100.
I pasted the code below.

When applying wmake on the code, there's no error message or such, it even compiles normally as like the ''normal'' scalarTransportFoam would.

Problem: When the case is compiled and viewed in paraFoam, the temperature of the baffle didn't change at all (I set it to 50 in the 0 dictionary).

Why doesn't it change the Temperature?

I would be very grateful if anyone could help me, and want to thank you in advance!

EDIT: I'm using openFOAM 4.1 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Best regards,
SalvusApfel

Code of MYscalarTransportFoam.C

#include "fvCFD.H"
#include "fvOptions.H"
#include "simpleControl.H"
#include "mixedFvPatchFields.H"

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
#include "setRootCase.H"
#include "createTime.H"
#include "createMesh.H"

simpleControl simple(mesh);

#include "createFields.H"
#include "createFvOptions.H"

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

Info<< "\nCalculating scalar transport\n" << endl;

#include "CourantNo.H"

while (simple.loop())
{
Info<< "Time = " << runTime.timeName() << nl << endl;

label PatchID = mesh.boundaryMesh().findPatchID("baffleFacesThermo Baffle1D_master");
const fvPatchScalarField& T_grenzflaeche = T.boundaryField()[PatchID];
fvPatchScalarField T_neu = T_grenzflaeche;
T_neu == 100;
T.boundaryField()[PatchID] == T_neu;
while (simple.correctNonOrthogonal())
{
fvScalarMatrix TEqn
(
fvm::ddt(T)
+ fvm::div(phi, T)
- fvm::laplacian(DT, T)
==
fvOptions(T)
);

TEqn.relax();
fvOptions.constrain(TEqn);
TEqn.solve();
fvOptions.correct(T);
}

runTime.write();
}

Info<< "End\n" << endl;

return 0;
}

Zeppo will become famous soon enough
First. No need to make a redundant copy of your field

T.boundaryField()[PatchID] == T_neu;
This piece of code is more effective
Code:
fvPatchScalarField& T_grenzflaeche = T.boundaryFieldRef()[PatchID];
T_grenzflaeche == 100;
Second. Let us see your 0/T file
