Creating a New Turbulence Model- Symbol Lookup Error
 

Hello All,

I compiled a new turbulence model in OpenFoam 2.2.1.To use that turbulence model, i created a new solver just to use the new turbulence library.Please note that i did not modify the solver or anything, i just recompiled it to use my turbulence libraries. It works fine.

But the weird thing is all the other standard solvers have stopped working,a nd i get the following error whichever solver I try to run:

Create time

I understand something went wrong while I compiled the new turbulence model , but I am not able to identify the problem.

Anybody else had this kind of problem?
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks and Regards.

Looks kind of like a linking issue. But it's a little hard to tell without knowing how your new turbulence model fits with the existing ones, which libraries are linked to your new solver, etc. Maybe you could share your Make/options files for the solver and the library?

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the response, and sorry for the late reply. The options file for the compressible/LES library is as follows :

EXE_INC = \
-I$(WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR)/src/turbulenceModels \
-I$(WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR)/src/turbulenceModels/compressible/turbulenceModel/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/turbulenceModels/LES/LESdeltas/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/turbulenceModels/LES/LESfilters/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/thermophysicalModels/basic/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/meshTools/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/finiteVolume/lnInclude

LIB_LIBS = \
$(FOAM_USER_LIBBIN)/libcompressibleTurbulenceModel.so \
-lLESdeltas \
-lLESfilters \
-lfiniteVolume \
-lmeshTools



And the same for the solver is :

EXE_INC = \
-I$(WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR)/applications/solvers/my_XiFoam \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/finiteVolume/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/fvOptions/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/sampling/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/meshTools/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/engine/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/thermophysicalModels/specie/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/thermophysicalModels/basic/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/thermophysicalModels/reactionThermo/lnInclude \
-I$(WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR)/src/turbulenceModels/compressible/turbulenceModel \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/thermophysicalModels/laminarFlameSpeed/lnInclude

EXE_LIBS = \
-lfiniteVolume \
-lfvOptions \
-lsampling \
-lmeshTools \
-lengine \
$(FOAM_USER_LIBBIN)/libcompressibleTurbulenceModel.so \
$(FOAM_USER_LIBBIN)/libcompressibleRASModels.so \
$(FOAM_USER_LIBBIN)/libcompressibleLESModels.so \
-lfluidThermophysicalModels \
-lreactionThermophysicalModels \
-lspecie \
-llaminarFlameSpeedModels

Hope this is what you required.

Thanks
