acces to createfields-Volscalarfields

I Have a problem with my driftFluxFoam adaption:

Because of the modular construction of DriftFluxFoam, the viscosity Model has no direct acces to the volScalarFields of createfields. Can somebody help me to initialize a volScalarField out of createFields, or even better, get acces to createFields?

To solve my problem, i tried to save an load the Objects of a dictionary. Here is my code:

In the end of createfields.H:

Code:

IOdictionary bilineardict

(

    IOobject

    (

        "bilineardict",

        runTime.constant(),

        mesh,

        IOobject::NO_READ,

        IOobject::NO_WRITE

    )

);

volScalarField Konzentration

    (

        IOobject

        (

            "Konzentration",

            runTime.timeName(),

            mesh,

            IOobject::NO_READ,

            IOobject::AUTO_WRITE

        ),

        alpha1*rho1

    );

In my mixtureViscosityModel:

Code:

const objectRegistry& db = mesh.thisDb();

const dictionary& transportProperties = db().lookupObject<IOdictionary>

(

   "bilineardict"

);

But i got the error-massage: ’mesh’ was not declared in this scope.

Can you post more of your solver (especially the beginning portion)? I presume you have either

Code:

# include "createMesh.H"

Code:

# include "createDynamicFvMesh.H"

in your code, so mesh should already be declared in one of those two headers.

If you want access to "Konzentration" in the main body of the code, you could use the lines:

Code:

volVectorField Konzentration

    (

        IOobject

        (

            "Konzentration",

            runTime.timeName(),

            mesh,

            IOobject::MUST_READ,

            IOobject::AUTO_WRITE

        ),

        mesh

    );

After the mesh initilization (if I understand your question correctly).

In my main function the only thing that comes near to your suggestions is

Code:

#include "createMesh.H"

The Includes of bilinear.C in the MixtureViscosityModel are:

Code:

#include "bilinear.H"

#include "addToRunTimeSelectionTable.H"

#include "fvcGrad.H"

I want to Use for example the Konzentration-value in bilinear.C.
If i write

Code:

volVectorField Konzentration

    (

        IOobject

        (

            "Konzentration",

            runTime.timeName(),

            mesh,

            IOobject::MUST_READ,

            IOobject::AUTO_WRITE

        ),

        mesh

    );

in my bilinear.C, I get the error Massages:

error: conflicting declaration ‘Foam::volVectorField Konzentration’
(
^
bilinear/bilinear.C:97:20: error: ‘Konzentration’ has a previous declaration as ‘Foam::volScalarField Konzentration’
volScalarField Konzentration = alpha_*rho_c_;
^
bilinear/bilinear.C:119:13: error: ‘runTime’ was not declared in this scope
runTime.timeName(),
^
bilinear/bilinear.C:120:13: error: ‘mesh’ was not declared in this scope
mesh,

I don´t get these error messages about runTime and mesh in my createFields.H

Did you forget to include bilinear.H in your .dep file perhaps?

Hi SteveFOAM,

bilinear/bilinear.C:97:20: error: ‘Konzentration’ has a previous declaration as ‘Foam::volScalarField Konzentration’
volScalarField Konzentration = alpha_*rho_c_;

This menas you already declared the variable Konzentration before. Probably in your bilinear.H ?

Quote:

bilinear/bilinear.C:119:13: error: ‘runTime’ was not declared in this scope
runTime.timeName(),

To use runTime in you object definition you neet the corresponding Header in your .C - file.

mesh,

Same thing here. Try "fvMesh.H"

regards,

The previous declaration of Konzentration was a mistake in the code. The inclusion of "fvMesh.H" had not helped me, same error. I want to be clear: I already defined everything properly in createfields. I just want to read them in bilinear.C.
The mesh and the runTime is within the main, but the inclusion of the mixtureViscosityModels is far before this runtime loop (not my idea, its driftfluxFoam)
