becher97 is on a distinguished road
hello,
I am trying to add a scalar transport equation to multiPhaseInterFoam.The diffusion coefficient Ds is defined as a volScalarField cause it should be weighted based on the value of the fraction of phases in each cell.

i.e. Ds = D1*alpha1+D2*alpha2+D3*alpha3...

Following code was used to achieve that, ScalarList Dlist stores diffusivity D for each phase.
Code:
        forAll(Ds, celli)
        {
            Ds[celli] = scalar(0);
            int im = 0;
            for (volScalarField alpha : mixture.phases())
            {
               Ds[celli] += Dlist[im] * alpha[celli];
               im +=1;
            }  
        }
Result shows the code works as expected. However, it takes long time to traverse every cells, the compute time increased about four times compared to a constant Ds.

So I wonder if I can operate the volScalarField as a whole to save time, following code was used.
Code:
        Ds = volScalarField<0>;
        int im = 0;
        for (volScalarField alpha : mixture.phases())
        {
               dimensionedScalar a = (dimensionSet(0,2,-1,0,0,0,0),Dlist[im]);
               Ds += a * alpha;
               im += 1;
        }
The code could be compiled without any error. But when run case, follow error message was shown.

Code:
--> FOAM FATAL ERROR: (openfoam-2106)

I can't figure out what's wrong in the error message.
Sorry for my bad English and programing skills. Any advice on where I'm going wrong is appreciated.
Thanks
