problems coming from the new version of OpenFOAM (v7))
 

Dear formers,
Recently I tried to transplanted a previous programmed solver, which is run well in OpenFOAM 5.0, to the newest version, OpenFOAM v7. The following problems were encountered,

1. the class fvMesh does not have a member function solver(). So the sentence

pEqn.solve(mesh.solver(p.select(piso.finalInnerIte r())));
(in the header file pEqn.H of solvers such as pisoFoam)

cannot been executed. This was solved by using

pEqn.solve( );

instead.



2. An executing of BC codeStream as

upWall
{
type fixedValue;
value #codeStream
{
codeInclude
#{
#include "fvCFD.H"
#};

codeOptions
#{
-I$(LIB_SRC)/finiteVolume/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/meshTools/lnInclude
#};

codeLibs
#{
-lmeshTools \
-lfiniteVolume
#};

code
#{
const IOdictionary& d = static_cast<const IOdictionary&>
(
dict.parent().parent()
);
const fvMesh& mesh = refCast<const fvMesh>(d.db());
const label id = mesh.boundary().findPatchID("upWall");
const fvPatch& patch = mesh.boundary()[id];

scalarField potenH(patch.size(), scalar(0));
const scalar H_0 = 1.4835e3;
const scalar h = 0.2e-3;
forAll(potenH,i)
{
const scalar x = patch.Cf()[i][0];
potenH[i] = scalar(0. - H_0*h - 0.2*H_0*x);
}
potenH.writeEntry("", os);
#};
};
}


encounted the following problem

FOAM exiting



and this problem was not solved. Does anyone has ideas? Thank you in advance.

here is an upgrade guide from openfoam.com

and release notes from openfoam.rog

may help.

Dear Bestucan,

Thanks for your reminder.

The problem 2 was finially addressed by replacing "potenH.writeEntry("", os)" with "writeEntry(os, "", potenH)" and it works well now.
