Hello Foamers,

I am trying to apply a non-reflective boundary condition to a transonic airfoil case in a C-grid. I figure I could use waveTransmissive on both inlet and outlet boundaries, since the inlet velocity changes angle as a function of time. However, when I run the case I get the following error in decomposePar:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
wrong token type - expected Scalar, found on line 30 the word 'rho'

file: /home/daniel/OpenFOAM/daniel-2.1.1/run/cases/mccroskey1982/14210_varFS/run1_janaf_wtall/0/rho::boundaryField::(inlet|topAndBottom|outlet)::fieldInf at line 30.

    From function operator>>(Istream&, Scalar&)
    in file lnInclude/Scalar.C at line 91.

My BC for rho is attached. I tried changing "rho" to "1.3" on line 30 (which goes against my understanding of how this boundary condition works), but then I get the following error:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
wrong token type - expected word, found on line 30 the doubleScalar 1.3

file: /home/daniel/OpenFOAM/daniel-2.1.1/run/cases/mccroskey1982/14210_varFS/run1_janaf_wtall/0/rho::boundaryField::(inlet|topAndBottom|outlet)::rho at line 30.

    From function operator>>(Istream&, word&)
    in file primitives/strings/word/wordIO.C at line 74.

I do not have the same problem for other scalars: p, omega, k, T, mut. Can anyone suggest why it might be happening for rho?

Thanks in advance,

Daniel
