Hello everyone,

Happy Thanksgiving for foamers!

I'm running the simulation for the circular cylinder flow.I'm using turbFoam solver which is recompiled to make it time-adaptive based on the max courant number. I found some problems when I set up the fvScheme dictionary. For the divScheme, the solver doesn't allow me to set default to "Gauss QUICK "or"Gauss upwind",it'll give

***********************************
Starting time loop

Time = 0.005

Courant Number mean: 0.00915807 max: 0.240009


attempt to read beyond EOF

file: /home/wuwei/OpenFOAM/wuwei-1.5/run/g2-scheme/system/fvSchemes::default at line 39.

From function ITstream::read(token& t)
in file db/IOstreams/Tstreams/ITread.C at line 64.

FOAM exiting

*****************************************

when I set it to "Gauss linear", it'll work.

Does anybody know the reason for this?

Thank you in advance.

Hello Wei,

Check if you have missed a ; at the end of the line.

You should have something like:
div(phi,U) Gauss upwind;

If it doesnt help, please post here your fvSchemes file.

Hi,Jose

Thank you for your reply.
I checked for the file I didn't miss a ; at the line.

here is my fvSchemes file, please check it for me, thanks

line 39 is the one says "default Gauss upwind;"

if I change it into " default Gauss QUICK;"
same thing happens,but if I change it into "default Gauss linear;" , the code can run nicely.



Thank you

Most interpolation schemes including Upwind and QUICK require a flux, therefore you say

default Gauss upwind phi;

Read sections 4.4.5 and 4.4.1 of the User Guide for more information on this topic.

Thank you so much, Henrik.
It worked after I added the " phi".
