Problem setting with chtmultiregionFoam
 

Hello,

I am using openfoam 1.5 on ubuntu (installed from ppa repo)
To get a quick summary: I want to simulate an hot fluid flow in a steel tube.
I am trying to setup a 3D case with chtmultiregionFoam, but I'm getting some trouble with it.I am starting from the tutorial one
(see http://www.cfd-online.com/OpenFOAM_D...eater-8318.unk ).With my new case, i get a segmentation faults.

My problem is, when I run chtmultiregion this message apair:

Segmentation fault


I do not know where this error come,I think I misunderstood creatPatchDict set in the file system, but I'm not sure because I did not understand its usefulness.
For more information I have joind to my post my file system (system.tar.gz).If you have any solutions please don't esitate.
Thank you.

Hi Antonin, Foamers

I have also a error message with chtMultiRegionFoam. It's not a segmentation fault, but maybe someone can help me or has an idea.

Hi Foamers,

I succeed to solve my problem to build the case and the different regions. But now i have another problem concerning the solver. Indeed, the calculations stop after around 10 iterations and I have this message

I think it's probably due to the thermophysical properties, particularly sutherland Transport coefficient. But i double checked my figures and they are good.
If you have an idea, please


Kyian

Dear Khelian973,

my bet is that the temperature is going below zero and then the sqrt(T) in the sutherlandTransport blows up.

Check your boundary and initial conditions and if correct try a smaller time step, more coupling until you you get a first time dump which you can inspect. Note that the regions are explicitly coupled - so please be gentle.
