Hi, I am trying to add an equ
 

Hi,
I am trying to add an equation to oodles and then run it for a "cold jet" simulation. The equation would be for a non-reacting scalar and it´s done in a similar way as "ftEqn.H" of XiFoam. I will breafly describe what I´ve done ("mixf", it`s the name of my variable):
firstly: mixfEqn.H reads:
tmp<fv::convectionscheme<scalar> > mvConvection
(
fv::convectionScheme<scalar>::New
(
mesh,
phi,
mesh.divScheme("div(phi,mixf_2)")
)
);


solve
(
fvm::ddt(mixf)
+ mvConvection->fvmDiv(phi, mixf)
- fvm::laplacian(sgsModel->nuEff(), mixf)
);


I added in "createAverages.H"

volScalarField* mixfMeanPtr;
if (nAveragingStepsFile.good())
{
...
Info<< "Creating field mixfMean\n" << endl;
mixfMeanPtr = new volScalarField
(
IOobject
(
"mixfMean",
runTime.timeName(),
mesh,
IOobject::MUST_READ,
IOobject::AUTO_WRITE
),
mesh
);

}
else
{
...
Info<< "Creating field mixfMean\n" << endl;
mixfMeanPtr = new volScalarField
(
IOobject
(
"mixfMean",
runTime.timeName(),
mesh,
IOobject::NO_READ,
IOobject::AUTO_WRITE
),
mixf
);
}
....
volScalarField& mixfMean = *mixfMeanPtr;

Then in "calculateAverages.H" I added:

mixfMean = nm1Coeff*mixfMean + nCoeff*mixf;

and in "createFields.H"

Info<< "Reading field mixf\n" << endl;
volScalarField mixf
(
IOobject
(
"mixf",
runTime.timeName(),
mesh,
IOobject::MUST_READ,
IOobject::AUTO_WRITE
),
mesh
);

now, at runtime, in the 0 directory I added the "mixf" file with all the definitions of patch values and all that

I run the case in parallel using LAM and it seems to run fine, for as long as I left it running Co did not go over 0.5. The trouble that I have is that at finalising the program I get a message like:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR : NO_READ specified for read-constructor of object Umean of class IOobject

Function: regIOobject::readStream(const word&)
in file: db/regIOobject/regIOobjectRead.C at line: 53.

FOAM parallel run aborting

...and this Umean can be something else like mixf_0, or pmean or mixfmean ...with the same error. Then, of course (I guess) when I want to reconstructPar the simulation I get (e.g. in the aforementioned error case):
Time = 0.0005

Am I missing something? Help...please!

Because mixf is not part of a thermodynamic or other coupled system there is no need to use multivariate discretisation for it. So instead of

mvConvection->fvmDiv(phi, mixf)

use

fvm::iv(phi, mixf)

and then you don't need

tmp<fv::convectionscheme<scalar> > mvConvection
(
fv::convectionScheme<scalar>::New
(
mesh,
phi,
mesh.divScheme("div(phi,mixf_2)")
)
);

Sorry I mean fvm::div(p
 

Sorry I mean

fvm::div(phi, mixf)

Thanks,
I will try this and see how it goes. Will keep
the fvScheme for it like this, then...

div(phi,mixf) Gauss Gamma201 1;

Did what you said...got the same, as in now:

I MUST be doing something wrong...

To get rid of this error message you must specify MUST_READ rather than NO_READ for your constructors of objects you are reading.

Did that in "createAverages.H"
 

Did that in "createAverages.H" and now seems fine. Not that I understand it very well, though: I mean at startup if I don´t have anything I thought I should be putting:
Info<< "Creating field mixfMean\n" << endl;
mixfMeanPtr = new volScalarField
(
IOobject
(
"mixfMean",
runTime.timeName(),
mesh,
IOobject::NO_READ,
IOobject::AUTO_WRITE
),
mixf
);

rather than:

Info<< "Creating field mixfMean\n" << endl;
mixfMeanPtr = new volScalarField
(
IOobject
(
"mixfMean",
runTime.timeName(),
mesh,
IOobject::MUST_READ,
IOobject::AUTO_WRITE
),
mixf
);

Thanks anyway.

Yes that is a copy-constructor
 

Yes that is a copy-constructor not a read-constructor so you should use IOobject::NO_READ for it.

I tried version 1.2. I played around with "oodles" (problem on 3 processors) and noticed, that it has about 25% less performance, compared to version 1.1.
Is this a common attribute or is this my specific problem?
I´ve seen, that there is some new implementation of "phi"-calculation in "oodles". May this be the cause?

hi,
I feel bad to ask you this question with all the explication before but;
I also have a FOAM FATAL ERROR mistake after ...lot's of iterations (which is hurtful):
NO_READ specified for read-constructor of object phi_0.

The problem is that I can't find the phi_0 IOobject in oodles (in createAverages.H) someone know where it is implement ? Or someone can just help me there ?

Thank you,

Cedric

Hi

When i add body force (F) to oodles and icoFoam solvers it seems that vorticity generation in the test case using with icoFoam is more than oodles.
My test case is a channel that it sides are symmetryplane and inlet velocity is zero.
And F is exponential subject that acts on the geometry center and affect limited domain for several time step.
Any hint?

Thanks in advance
