Hello Guys,


I am running the helical pipe simulation using the kOmegaSST model, but when I try to run case it show the following error:


-> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Invalid wall function specification
Patch type for patch walls must be wall
Current patch type is patch

After this error I change my boundary patch from polyMesh/boundary, but when i run the case, OpenFOAM automatically changes walls patch to patch.

here I am attaching the whole case file.


Many Thanks in advance

If you are changing the boundary file and then run again your Allrun script, it will run gmshToFoam again, which will overwrite the polyMesh directory, hence overwriting your change. After modifying your boundary file you only need to run foamRun.

Or you can use the changeDictionary utility to automatically update your boundary file, and you'll have to add it in your Allrun script just before foamRun.
