Hi everyone, I am a new member. Please help me solve the following issue. I have successfully compiled the waves2Foam on OpenFOAM ESI 2106 and tried running the DTCHullMoving case with the same set of the OpenFOAM tutorial. I have just changed the U and alpha.water by the following:

0/U

boundaryField
{
atmosphere
{
type pressureInletOutletVelocity;
value uniform (0 0 0);
}
inlet
{
type waveVelocity;//zeroGradient;
refValue uniform ( 0 0 0 );
refGradient uniform ( 0 0 0 );
valueFraction uniform 1;
value uniform ( 0 0 0 );

}
.....
and 0/alpha.water

boundaryField
{
//- Set patchGroups for constraint patches
#includeEtc "caseDicts/setConstraintTypes"

inlet
{
type waveAlpha;//zeroGradient;
refValue uniform 0;
refGrad uniform 0;
valueFraction uniform 1;
value uniform 0;
}
....

And the error happens below:
[6] Unknown patchField type waveVelocity for patch type patch
[6]: command not found

My questions are:
1. I'm wondering whether the waveVelocity has been replaced by zeroGradient boundary condition or not.
2. If the 1st question was wrong, how can I fix it to run the waveFoam with waveVelocity.

Thank you in advance.

Hi, I think I had a similar issue. Instead of using waves2Foam, I am using OFv7 its own wave generation to simulate a ship in wave condition. All run smoothly but when it comes to interFoam, error reported: Unknown patchField type waveVelocity for patch type patch, and I have successfully run the DTCHullWave tutorial case without any error, please let me know if you have any idea to resolve this, any help will be appreciated!

Thanks,
Tony

Hi,I'm meeting the same question.waveVelocity may not work in 0/U

I have find the solution.May be you can add into the controlDict like below.
libs
(
"libwaves.so"
)
