Hi, Foamers, I encountered two strange problems while solving two cases.
Problem #1: After solving one case from 0 to 2e-4 sec, I had to continue to solve the case from 2e-4 to 1e-3 sec. Therefore, I changed the controlDict in 'system' folder as follows:
FoamFile
{
version 2.0;
format ascii;
class dictionary;
location "system";
object controlDict;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

application sprayFoam;

startFrom startTime;

startTime 0.0002;//0.000276;//0;//3.4e-5;//0.00324;//0.00027;

stopAt endTime;

endTime 1e-3;//0.000279;//0.1;//630=1.5873e-04s

deltaT 1e-9;

writeControl timeStep;//adjustableRunTime;

writeInterval 1000;//1000;//1e-04;

purgeWrite 0;

writeFormat binary;

writePrecision 6;

writeCompression uncompressed;
Anyway, once I started the sprayFoam, it gave me the error messages as follows:
Starting time loop

Courant Number mean: 0.000916657 max: 0.0340124
Time = 0.000200001

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Integrating outside table 0..0.0002 not implemented. t1:0.000199967 t2:0.000200001

From function linearInterpolationWeights::integrationWeights(..)
in file interpolations/interpolationWeights/linearInterpolationWeights/linearInterpolationWeights.C at line 180.

FOAM exiting

I have no ideas why it happens, since I did it early to continue my computation from an existing time.

Problem #2: I constructed another case which shared the same mesh, boundary conditions and almost everything as the case in Problem #1, the only difference between the two cases is that the property 'coupled' was set true in 'sprayCloudProperties' file in 'constant' folder while it was set as false in the case in problem #1. Once the deltaT was set the same value as that in the first case, it would not take too long before 'Floating point exception' occurred. As the deltaT decreased, the time before error may be a little longer.

Courant number is not big before the error.
Any clues? Thanks in advance!

Problem #1 has been solved!
I forget to change the 'flowRateProfile table' in the 'sprayCloudProperties' file in 'constant' folder.

Anything about Problem #2 is welcomed!
