hi,

I have created a source term which is used in a transportequation. The source term returns a field with values of type [change of dimension / time in second].

If I put the source term field "volScalarField SourceTermField" into a transportequation like

Code:
 solve (
            fvm::ddt(alpha,....) 
          ==
          - fvc::div(phase.phiAlpha(),...)    
          +  SourceTermField*runtime.deltaTValue()
          );
will this be the right way to do it?
AND
is method value() the right one to get the physical time of the the actual time step ?

Edit: Furthermore I realized that I get an error when using object runtime in the transportequation:

Quote:
/home/USER/SolverNEW/NEW/NEW_TransportEqns.H:740: error: ‘runtime’ was not declared in this scope
The transportequation is located within the "pimple loop" which itself is within the "runtime loop".

greetings
maybee
