Hi. I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me what this error means. Thanks in advance.

Here's the print-out I get when I run the solver:

Hi John,

With a floating point exception at the very beginning, check that your fields are initialized to something sensible. Eg, don't use zero for the tke.

Also check that (absolute) pressure isn't zero anywhere in the field. Same thing with temperature (in Kelvins).

Hi,
maybe anyone knows this error as well. Thanks in advance!

Here's the print-out I get when I run the rhoSimpleFoam solver:

Maybe I should change my viscosity. E.g. define it as a function of the Temperature.
What I didn't understand up to now in the thermoPhysicalProperties is the heat fusion Hf. How can I get this value?

Now I got positive temperatures, but anyway the solver aborts after a couple of iterations, probably because of division by zero!

Maybe you know what the reason could be?

Here the error message and below my thermoPhysicalProperties, because I think the problem is coming from there.

The error in converting h-values to T. Can you post description of your case?

I don't know why, but I cannot get a converging result for this geometry using the left edge as symmetry axis and consequently the front and back surface as wedge boundary!
Do you think this problem could be resolved by a full 360 degree geometry?

hi, Steven!

1) i can"t see your images

2) why you want to use 'wedge' patch? maybe you must try symmetryPlane for front and back surfaces.

Hi Matvej,

thank's a lot for your manipulation of my files. they worked fine, but as soon as I put wedge boundaries it doesn't converge any more.
Even symmetryPlanes cause the same problem!

Hi, Hung Nguyen

after some experience with rhoSimpleFoam (or rhoTurbFoam), i found, that all errors, that arises when converting h-values to T-values means an improper case setup (pressure boundaries, turbulence initial setup, physical BC, etc). Can you tell more about your case?
