Error Message while running propeller tutorial case
 

Hello,


OpenFOAM-v2206


I am trying to run the $FOAM_TUTORIALS/incompressible/pimpleFoam/RAS/propeller tutorial case using kOmegaSST turbulence model.


I have followed the below steps in sequential manner:




blockMesh

checkMesh

surfaceFeatureExtract


decomposePar

mpirun -np 4 snappyHexMesh -overwrite -parallel | tee log.snappy

reconstructParMesh -constant


rm -r processor*


topoSet -dict system/createInletOutletSets.topoSetDict


createPatch -overwrite

cp -r 0.orig/ 0


decomposePar

mpirun -np 4 pimpleFoam -parallel | tee log.pimpleFoam


Post this while the case is running using pimpleFoam I am getting the below error message in terminal:


--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: (openfoam-2206)
Entry 'method' not found in dictionary "/home/ttdesign/OpenFOAM/ttdesign-v2206/run/sample_cases/trial/trial-propeller/propeller_case1/system/fvSchemes.wallDist"
file: system/fvSchemes.wallDist
From bool Foam::dictionary::readEntry(const Foam::word&, T&, Foam::keyType::option, bool) const [with T = Foam::word]
in file /home/ttdesign/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v2206/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/dictionaryTemplates.C at line 322.
FOAM parallel run exiting



Please if you can suggest me further on this. I would really appreciate & thanks in advance.

Hello

How about adding the following dictionary to system/fvSchemes?

wallDist
{
method meshWave;
}

I have made changes to the fvSchemes file as above.

After making changes to the fvSchemes, when running the command- "mpirun -np 4 snappyHexMesh -overwrite -parallel | tee log.snappy"


I am getting the following error message:
