Hello,

I am using openfoam 1.5 on ubuntu (installed from ppa repo)and I'm novice in OpenFoam
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 system.tar.gz).If you have any solutions please don't esitate.
Thank you.

Antonin!

One needs to know more about your set-up (e.g. BCs). Unfortunately I was not able to download the system files.

I miss the more clear structure of the steady-state solvers like chtMultiSimpleFoam.
I have entered into controlDict as a time step 1. But the chtMultiRadFoam doesn't solve as instructed.

Does someone can explain that to me?
Many thanks!

hi!

you might have set

Code:
adjustTimeStep  yes;
maxCo           0.3;
in the controclDict, i.e. the time step is controlled by a constant Courant number of 0.3. set

Code:
adjustTimeStep  no;
then the prescribed time step "deltaT" is used by the solver.

cheers,
aram

Hi
I want take a simple run from example "chtMultiRegionFoam" but when It give error. Error is " Can not read file "pints" at time 0 ".
How do you take a simple run from This solver (after blockMesh)?
Thanks

Hi!
take a better look at the case files and folders at
/tutorials/heatTransfer/chtMultiRegion*

but run these cases b4 taking any conclusions. The Allrun script will do a few things. Once the case is run, take a look at the file/folder structure you got and the log files.

cht makes sense with more than 1 volume region, (solid and air,... etc) that you'll have to create using blockmesh or splitMeshregions app. Unless your case is simple it might be a little hard to set the case using OF pre-processing tools alone, but it is feasible.
