Hi everyone,

I'm recently getting deep with the OpenFOAM tutorial "turbulentFlatPlate". I successfully run the tutorial with the k-epsilon and the k-omega models (already implemented in the tutorial). After that i tried to change the turbulence model with the Spalart Allmaras model.

Firstly i created the folder "0.SpalartAllmaras" with U, p, nut and nuTilda defined inside. Then i modified the fvSolution and fvSchemes and setted the Spalart Allmaras model in the "Allrun" script. When i run the simulation i get this error:

I attach also the log.simpleFoam.SpalartAllmaras_5 file:

You are probably trying to solve for a field with a default boundary condition.

I don't know if i need to adjust something yet or if I'm taking a wrong method from the beginning. I really want to understand how to fix the problem and i would be glad if someone can help me (even a clear tutorial link can be helpfull) to understand how to implement a different turbulence model in a openfoam tutorial.
I attach also the folder i prepared for the simulation in the zip format in case you need to take a look to others files.

Thank you

Regards

Bartholomew
