Hello everyone,


I am new to openfoam. I am calculating interface area . I wore a subroutine in twoPhaseMixtureThermo.C in compressibleInterFoam solver. I used the following subroutine in twoPhaseMixtureThermo.C to use cell volume .


Code:
const volScalarField& cellVolume =
        alpha1().db().lookupObject<volScalarField>("cellVolu");
And in createFields.H I wrote the following subroutine.


Code:
volScalarField cellVolume
    (
    IOobject
       (
        "cellVolume",
        runTime.timeName(),
        mesh,
        IOobject::NO_READ,
        IOobject::AUTO_WRITE
       ),
        mesh,
    dimensionedScalar("zero", dimVolume, 0.0)
    );
     cellVolume.ref() = mesh.V();
Now I am getting the following error while running test case:


Create time

Create mesh for time = 0


PIMPLE: No convergence criteria found


PIMPLE: Operating solver in transient mode with 1 outer corrector
PIMPLE: Operating solver in PISO mode

Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance
