Actuator Disk Implementation Problem
 

Hi All,

I am trying to follow a report that was about the "Actuator Disk Method". It is an interesting topic to learn. I have read the report until page 7, and then I have tried to apply what is been done in the report. However, I have faced some difficulties match it to OpenFoam 2.3.2 since it was made in the old version 1.5. I am asking if anybody of you by any chance run through the steps and find sometime to help out in this regard.

Here is "the error"what I got when I ran blockMesh and simpleFoam:
"--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
Cannot find patchField entry for cyclic fan_half0
Is your field uptodate with split cyclics?
Run foamUpgradeCyclics to convert mesh and fields to split cyclics.

Thank you in advance
