Compilation Error: "no matching function for call to ‘div(Foam::volScalarField&)’"
 

Hi, I am compiling a new solver for a set of equations for weak gas discharge and I am getting this error.

Making dependency list for source file weakdischargeFoam.C

I have checked parameters mentioned in createFields.H and also in the weakdischargeFoam.C but couldn't find much. I would be thankful for help.

Hi,

If you look into documentation (http://foam.sourceforge.net/docs/cpp...8d576632b33d25 and below), there is no fvm::div function that has single volume field as argument. First argument should always be flux as surface field.

Solution to the problem depends on what exactly you are trying to achieve.
