Red face turbDyMFoam and refineMesh utility

Hello all,

I have been developing a case using the turbDyMFoam solver. I use blockMesh to create my mesh and have been using the refineMesh utility to decrease grid spacing around an object. When I run the solver after having pre-processed the case I get the following terminal output:

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //
Create time

Create dynamic mesh for time = 0

Selecting dynamicFvMesh mixerGgiFvMesh
void mixerGgiFvMesh::addZonesAndModifiers() : Zones and modifiers already present. Skipping.
Mixer mesh:
origin: (0 0 0)
axis : (0 0 1)
rpm : 16
Reading field p

Reading field U

Reading/calculating face flux field phi

Segmentation fault


When I run the case without using the refineMesh utility it works just fine. Also, when I view the mesh before I run it after I have used the refineMesh utility, it looks just the way I want. So the utility is working for me.

Maybe there is some conflict because of the sets that get created? Has someone encountered a similar problem or can point to a possible solution to this problem?

Thank you.

Now I am able to proceed little bit further or until the next timestep. Then this comes up:

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //
Create time

Create dynamic mesh for time = 0

Selecting dynamicFvMesh mixerGgiFvMesh
void mixerGgiFvMesh::addZonesAndModifiers() : Zones and modifiers already present. Skipping.

deltaT = 0.001041667
Time = 0.001041667

Segmentation fault


I know now that the segmentation fault arises because OF is trying to go into a list or similar with an index that is out of the list's domain. Since I do not have the debug option on with my OF compilation, I am not able to see where exactly this happens.
Can someone help me on this one or does someone now what the solver is doing when this happens (What is happening after the timestep calculation)?

Hi

This is a common mistake.

using mixerGgiFvMesh the cellZone MUST be named "movingCells"

This name is hard-coded into the code so thats why.

Open your constant/polyMesh/cellZones file and change the name.

I bet this is the error.

Thank you very much, this works like a charm it seems. At least the compilation is running now. You are a genius!

Hi, could you please tell me in which version of OpenFoam i can find the solver turbDymFoam? I have been looking forward to that for a long time...thank you so much!

Hi aqua,

in the latest version turbDymFoam is called pimpleDymFoam.

The two solvers turbDymFoam and icoDymFoam were merged. By selecting a turbulence modell or laminar flow you now can choose between the two old solvers.
