Airfoil 2D Openfoam

Hello guys,
I'm trying to solve airfoil 2D problem(NACA 0006)
i have problems about that file controlDict, about liftDir dragDir CofR lRef Aref.
My chord is 3m or 3000 mm and my angle is 6 deg.

functions
{ forces
{ type forceCoeffs;
functionObjectLibs ("libforces.so");
outputControl timeStep;
outputInterval 1;
patches (airfoil);
pName p;
UName U;
rhoName rhoInf;
log true;
rhoInf 1.2;
liftDir (-0.06975647 0.99756405 0);
dragDir (0.99756405 0.06975647 0);
CofR (0 0 0);
pitchAxis (0 0 -1);
magUInf 36;
lRef 2.5;
Aref 2.5;

Hi,

Never dealt with that specific test case but it looks your function call syntax are wrong.

For example (an example I use for my cases):

Code:

functions

(

    probes

    {

        type            probes;

        functionObjectLibs ("libsampling.so");

        enabled         true;

        outputControl   timeStep;

        outputInterval  100;

        probeLocations

        (

            ( 140e-6 140e-6 0.5 )

            ( 140e-6 120e-6 0.5 )

            ( 140e-6 100e-6 0.5 )

            ( 160e-6 140e-6 0.5 )

            ( 170e-6 140e-6 0.5 )

        );



        fields

        (

            p

            U

        );

    }



    fieldAverage1

    {

        type            fieldAverage;

        functionObjectLibs ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");

        enabled         true;

        outputControl   outputTime;

        fields

        (

            U

            {

                mean        on;

                prime2Mean  on;

                base        time;

            }



            p

            {

                mean        on;

                prime2Mean  on;

                base        time;

            }

        );

    }

);

If its an error with controlDict I guess this is it however it would be good to see the error the compiler reports.

can I send you my text on email?
