Hi all

I am using Ubuntu 18.04 with OpenFoam 2.4.0. A lab computer has a custom solver built, which is nearly identical to interFoam, called davishockingInterFoam. I copy this solver from the lab machine and place it here on my local machine: /home/josh/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.4.0/applications/solvers/multiphase/. This solver requires new boundary conditions. For this I copy the twoPhaseProperties file from the lab computer and put it here on my local machine: /home/josh/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.4.0/src/transportModels/twoPhaseProperties

I then cd to /home/josh/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.4.0 and execute ./Allwmake and no errors are found.

When running davishockingInterFoam I execute the following: mpirun -np 4 davishockingInterFoam -parallel

And I get the error

MPI_ABORT was invoked on rank 2 in communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD
with errorcode 1.

NOTE: invoking MPI_ABORT causes Open MPI to kill all MPI processes.
You may or may not see output from other processes, depending on
exactly when Open MPI kills them.

Any idea how to fix this?

I fixed the issue. Turns out I needed to update the Make file to include the contact angle models I was incorporating. The Make file is here for me:

/home/josh/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.4.0/src/transportModels/twoPhaseProperties/Make

Once there, open the "files" document, and include the necessary .C files you need. This should be evident, as you'll see what's already included. Hope this helps you.
