I ran the pisoFoam LES motorBike tutorial case on the cluster. It worked fine. Using the default setup, this job finished in about 7 hours on 8 cores. However, after I change a few parameters, it gets stuck at the step pisoFoam for 32 cores.

Basically, I changed the decompose method in the decomposeParDict to be scotch and increased the numberofSubdomains to be 32. Then, changed a few lines of Allrun in the lesfiles folder to use the RAS solution from 8 cores as the initial condition and then ran LES on 32 cores.

I don't know what is wrong here. Can anybody help me?

I figured out this problem. The reason is just the different run environment on the cluster. I changed the script. Now, it works fine.
