Default reactingFoam crashes with no iterations

uckmhnds is on a distinguished road
Dear Foamers,


I have been using OpenFOAM for about 2 years (I have OF version 7 installed in Ubuntu 16.). I normally use classical N-S compressible / incompressible solvers. However, it is first time for me to utilize reactingFoam to simulate multi-species transport with no reactions / combustions. My real case have 3 pipes. One pipe has mass flux of 2 kg/s of species (CH4, O2, N2). Other two pipes have totalPressure inlet of 1.2 bar of species (CH4, O2, N2).


My methodology is that:
- Set up a small cell size case to check compatibility of boundary conditions for U, T and p first in rhoPimpleFoam since reactingFoam uses PIMPLE algorithm. (Therefore i used blockMesh and sHM to create a small pipe mesh with surroundings and simulate it with those conditons.)

- Implement those correct (which i guess) boundary conditions into reactingFoam tutorial "membrane"


- Set the mass fractions for species in species field files for reactingFoam




- Turn off reactions and combustion in constant/*


- Start simulation. And if the set up is correct, implement all into my real case (which is classifed so i am not allowed to share it).


BUT. I failed because reactingFoam crashes before running the iterations. I have checked the membrane tutorial case to comprehend at which step it crashes and found out that it is just before the step;


"Reading fields U"

So i predict that I make a mistake about boundary conditions for velocity. Please HELP!!


Here my set up in 0/ folder:

Yes. I have found what the problem is. The trick is to give some specie into internal field. Otherwise, OF would think (which i guess) the domain as an empty space where continuum physics is not valid.

Do you mean the 0-folder files of the species?

To set the option "internalField" from "0" to a certain value unlike 0?
