hi everyone,
i am new to openfoam , was setting up a case using twoPhaseEulerFoam solver in which phase a is water while phase b is gas and i have a salt gradient which leads to change in my rhoa (density of water) so instead of being constant its a scalar field .
solver showing error on compilation.

this is my createfields.H : (highlighted the required text)

Hello, shash.
I haven't found an error message in your post. Could you post it here?
