CFD Online Discussion Forums - Parallelization of a self-compiled boundary condition

Hello,

I am really very new to this subject, so I apologize if my question is too vague or has already been answered elsewhere here. I have searched, but perhaps for lack of correct search words did not find a solution.
My setup: I have openfoam-2206 (for no special reason, just because it was the version which was installed on the computer) on Platform: linux64GccDPInt32Opt (mpi=sys-openmpi).

I have the following problem: I have a flow line with water (open to the atmosphere at the top) and I would like to have an outlet with a defined water level, analogous to the boundary condition variableHeightFlowRateInletVelocity. I found the following:

http://www.tfd.chalmers.se/~hani/kur...key_report.pdf: (Inlets, outlets, and post-processing for modeling open-channel flow with the volume of fluid method). This does exactly what I am looking for. Here, a boundray condition depthOutletVelocity is developed from the boundary condition variableHeightFlowRateInletVelocity.
I get this so far and can also calculate the case on a core (weirOverflow from the tutorials with interFoam). What I can't manage is to run the whole thing in parallel (mpirun -np 12 interFoam). I always get the following error message:

[openfoam:49329] *** End of error message ***

I am working in $WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR/src/finiteVolume and my files in Make look like this:

Make/files

Code:

fields/fvPatchFields/derived/depthOutletVelocity/depthOutletVelocityFvPatchVectorField.C

LIB = $(FOAM_USER_LIBBIN)/libdepthOutletVelocity

Make/options

Code:

EXE_INC = \

-I$(LIB_SRC)/fileFormats/lnInclude \

-I$(LIB_SRC)/surfMesh/lnInclude \

-I$(LIB_SRC)/meshTools/lnInclude \

-I$(LIB_SRC)/finiteVolume/lnInclude

LIB_LIBS = \

-lOpenFOAM \

-lfileFormats \

-lsurfMesh \

-lmeshTools

My depthOutletVelocity/depthOutletVelocityFvPatchVectorField.H and depthOutletVelocityFvPatchVectorField.C are attached.

What I think I understand is that it has something to do with the write(stream& os) in depthOutletVelocityFvPatchVectorField.C, because the function looks somehow different than in the linked pdf.
But there I am completely lost. So any help would be greatly appreciated!

Best regards
