Hi!

I need to solve scalar transport that is confined to a specific phase (interFoam).

There are many threads on the topic and it seems that phaseScalarTransport is the way to go. However, I would like to manipulate the scalar at each time-step.

Is it possible to do in an efficient way (either through direct manipulation or through source terms)?

Even though ESI OpenFOAM has not implemented phaseScalarTransport, it seems I have more luck there, shaking down what little documentation there is about codedSource. I can probably accept going for their scalarTransport implementation if I can modify the scalar field.

So for OpenFOAM2206 the following works (prints text) with simpleFoam, but it does not work with interFoam

scalarCodedSource
{

    type            scalarCodedSource;
    selectionMode   all;
    fields          (k);
    name            sourceTime;

    codeAddSup
    #{
    #};

    codeCorrect
    #{
        Info << "Some pointless text ******************" << endl;
    #};

     codeConstrain
    #{
        // empty block
    #};


}

it casts the following error:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR: (openfoam-2206)
Not implemented

Is it not compatible with multiphase flows or is it due to some other reason?
