OpenFOAM-2.1.0 Writes Data in Old Format and Reads in New Format
 
Hi OF Users!
I am having a seprate difficulity regarding OF-2.1 with the 'parallel' patches influencing the the solution here. In trying to diagnose that issue I have hit a seprate one.

Here is what I am trying to do. Run the solver as a single process for a few time steps. Use the intermediat solution to deocmpose the case. Then run the case from the last computed time step.

I can
  • View the solution in ParaView without any issues.
  • Decompose the case without any issues.

I cannot
  • Contine the solution in parallel
  • Continue the solution as a single processor

Here is my output when I try to run the solver again as a single processor
Code:
$ rhoCentralFoam

Any suggestion on how I am solve this?

Missing Keyword
 
Just an update on this.

I was looking at the U files and found that the keyword 'nonuniform' was missing for the refValues and valueFraction.

However I am not sure which file controls the output for boundary fields like this one (being the maxwellSlipU from rhoCentralFoam's BC). I will like to edit the source and fix this issue.

The Fix
 
The fix is simple and I have reported a bug to OpenFOAM.

Just edit the file $FOAM_APP/solvers/compressible/rhoCentralFoam/BCs/U/maxwellSlipUFvPatchVectorField.C.

Code:
--- ../../../rhoCentralFoam/BCs/U/maxwellSlipUFvPatchVectorField.C        2011-11-25 03:59:50.000000000 +1100

Hope this helps.
