Hi foamers,

I am new to waves2foam and this website. Yet I have encountered a problem when running waves2foam parallel with JOHNSWAP wave generator, wave absorption zone and k-omega SST turbulence model. The error exists after some seconds of running and the error code is shown below:

Code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A process has executed an operation involving a call to the
"fork()" system call to create a child process.  Open MPI is currently
operating in a condition that could result in memory corruption or
other system errors; your job may hang, crash, or produce silent
data corruption.  The use of fork() (or system() or other calls that
create child processes) is strongly discouraged.

The process that invoked fork was:

  Local host:          [[33758,1],58] (PID 209108)

If you are *absolutely sure* that your application will successfully
and correctly survive a call to fork(), you may disable this warning
by setting the mpi_warn_on_fork MCA parameter to 0.

I have searched through this Wiki and someone indicated that this could be due to the poorly chosen boundary condition. However, I still am not able to solve this problem after changing the boundary condition for days. My boundary conditions are:

Hello Jinshi,

Did you fix this problem? I think it might be related with your compilation. It means that the compilation was not succeded.

Hi Francisco,

I think I had a similar problem when simulating a ship in wave conditions.

Instead of using waves2Foam, I am using OpenFOAM its own wave generation tool.

As far as I know, OpenFOAM has included its own wave generation tool since OFv5.

To start with, I copied the DTCHullWave tutorial case into my own directory then I replaced the STL file and then did my own blockMesh, refineMesh and snappyHexMesh etc. Then I did renumberMesh, the error reported:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
Essential entry 'value' missing

file: /home/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-7/run/KCSDRIFTINWAVE/0/U.boundaryField.inlet from line 31 to line 31.

Then I had to add value in alpha.water and U files in 0 folder (value $internalField; in both inlet BCs in both files)

Then setWaves and decomposePar ran smoothly without any error.

Finally, running interFoam, error reads: Unknown patchField type waveVelocity for patch type patch; (/0/U.boundaryField.inlet)

I think the same error will reported in 0/alpha.water.inlet as well for Unknown patchField type waveAlpha for patch type patch;

Please let me know if you have any hint to resolve this issue! Many thanks and Btw I am using OF version 7 and the patches of waveAlpha and waveVelocity should have been included in OFv7, and I can run DTCHullWave tutorial case without any error!

Btw, I am not sure whether it is worth installing a third party wave generation tool eg. wave2Foam in OpenFOAM v7?

Any help will be appreciated!
Tony

Dear Tony,

I would suggest you to make sure that the openfoam is well installed in your ubuntu machine.
