Deal all,

I am trying to implement a new boundary condition which combines slip in the tangential direction to a movingWallVelocity in the normal direction. The purpose is to be have a slip condition that works for a moving mesh.

So far, I've modified the existing fixedNormalSlip condition, but I'm stuck with an error of incompatible field types which I can't resolve. I tried to guess many solutions and have not found anything so far.

The problem is that once I change

Field<Type>::operator=(nHat*(nHat & fixedValue_ ));

to

Field<Type>::operator=(nHat*(nHat & (Up + n*(Un - (n & Up))) ));

compiling gives me the following error,

I'm hoping someone with a better knowledge of the code can hint me in the right direction.

I am attaching the full code for fixedNormalSlipFvPatchField.C and .H

Thanks,

I found a workaround: start from movingWallVelocity boundary condition instead, this way the problem of Type is avoided and the condition can be applied only to the velocity field... Seems to work fine.
