Dear Foamers,

I was doing the dam break tutorial when I met an issue at the interFoam running :

Reading transportProperties



--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
keyword phases is undefined in dictionary "xxxxx/run/damBreak/constant/transportProperties"

file: xxxxx/run/damBreak/constant/transportProperties from line 20 to line 62.

    From function dictionary::lookupEntry(const word&, bool, bool) const
    in file db/dictionary/dictionary.C at line 437.

FOAM exiting

I have tried to identifies what is missing without success so far. I cannot find any reference to a phases keyword in any of the configuration files.

Here is my transportProperties, as it was in the original tutorial folder :

Anyone would have any idea on this issue ?

Thanks.

Sorry for the disturbance,

I found the source of the problem. The files in my /home directory had not been updated when I upgraded OpenFOAM to 2.3.0.
Thus, in my transportProperties file this line was missing at the beginning :

phases (phase1 phase2);

So here the lesson I learned today : always check that the tutorial files in my /home folder are up-to-date.

Hi,

version 2.3 introduces a new convention to define the phases. You no longer call them phase1 and phase2, but you now can use their physical name (e.g. water, air...) and afterwards you define them:

phases (water air);

Best,

Pablo

Thank you Pablo !
It is easier that way.

Dears,

I build new solver from interFoam inserting the temperatura equation I compiled no erros but when I ues tutorial case damBreak for validation the follow erros appears

I introduce the required features for temperature in the tutorial.

Can anybody help me?
