[newbie29]

Hello,

I'm trying to install the swak4foam package. Apparently I'm not skilled enough to do that. I would greatly appreciate any help and a short how to walkthrough. So far I have done the following:


1. I have downloaded swak4foam using: svn checkout https://openfoam-extend.svn.sourcefo...ies/swak4Foam/


2. I have installed the packages: flex, bison and gcc-c++

3. I have used the command: ./Allwmake


But it didn't work out very well. First of all, could someone tell me which commands I have to use to completely install swak4foam. And could someone please tell me where I am suppose to copy the swak4foam folder I have downloaded. I strongly think having the swak4foam folder in the HOME folder is quite wrong, but I don't know where to put this folder. As you can see my Linux skills are not very distinctive.


Thanks
Best
Nils

Hello Bruno,

I did 100% exactly your commands from your post. But it didn't work out. At least that is my impression. I don't know what went wrong. Maybe you have an idea if you look at my console output. I do apologize for such a long post. But maybe it helps.

BTW: it looks pretty much exactly like what I have done already before.

For some reasons you don't have access to /home/sysop/OpenFOAM/sysop-2.1.1/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib/ and it all goes downhill from there

Ok, I changed into superuser. And did exactly the same thing again. But I still don't get it. Something must be still wrong with my setup. I'm getting depressed.

Any ideas please.

[wyldckat]

Greetings Nils,

I'm guessing you did at first do things as superuser (when you used svn the first time), which is why you couldn't build things properly.

It's best that you:

1. As superuser, do these commands:
   

   chown -R sysop:users /home/sysop/OpenFOAM

   That will assign to your normal user, all of the folders and files in that directory.
2. Then redo the steps as normal user.

Best regards,
Bruno

[newbie29]

Hello Bruno,

YES,YES, YES it looks pretty good to me. But just to make sure everything is fine, could you please have a look at final output. And tell me if that is what I'm suppose to get.

This is what I get when I run ./Allwmake for the second time:

Thank you so much for your help. All of you, doing so much in this forum, are my personal heroes. This forum is just great. And pretty much the only good source to get any OF help. Much appreciated!

All the best

Dear newbie29

I have same problem as you
limitation of permission!
What should I do?

Did you read this thread from beginning to end ? If so, what didn't you understand?

Best regards,
Bruno

[amin144]

Hi Bruno
Thanks for your reply
Yeah, I've read
But I didn't khnow anything about sueruser!
my problem was another thing:
using: EXE = $(FOAM_APPBIN)/myIcoFoam
instead of : EXE = $(FOAM_USER_APPBIN)/myIcoFoam
in "files" file of "make" directory

I had a hard time installing swak4foam so I've followed this thread (and http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post367334) closely. When I issue ./Allwmake I get:

Any suggestions on how to avoid the OSError?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Greetings Rick,

Don't worry about the "OSError", because it's related to the Mercurial (Hg) repository and you're using the SVN, so there is no need to worry about that particular error message.

As for swak4Foam itself, everything seems to be fine!

As for "$FOAM_MPI_LIBBIN", in OpenFOAM 2.1 the respective definition is "$FOAM_LIBBIN/$FOAM_MPI".

Best regards,
Bruno

Thanks for the feedback Bruno. I'm glad to hear that the OSError isn't as serious as it sounds, but I guess that means that I'm doing something wrong when I try to use the utility with buoyantPimpleFoam. I added these libraries to my controlDict:

libs ( "libOpenFOAM.so" "libgroovyBC.so" ) ;

The model works well with a zeroGradient temperature BC, but I want to compare the results with a linear temperature profile BC. The problem is that if I use groovyBC, I get a floating point exception. For reference, groovyBCFixedValue works just fine.

type groovyBC;
valueExpression "257.15+(286.25-257.15)*pos().x/.0127";
// type groovyBCFixedValue;
// valueExpression "271.7";
// type fixedValue;
value uniform 271.7;

What am I missing?

Hi Rick,

My only guess is that "pos().x" is causing the problem, but only likely due to a problem with the mesh?

Run checkMesh with full diagnostics to verify if the mesh is fully OK:

checkMesh -allGeometry -allTopology

If it's OK, try also not using "pos().x" to see if it still works or not. Additionally, you better check what values this specific entry can return!

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

checkMesh came back OK and I can't get groovyBC to work even when I take "pos().x" out of the expression. The good news is that I found that this BC gives me what I'm after:

type groovyBCFixedValue;
valueExpression "286.25-(286.25-257.15)*pos().x/.0127";

I think I might be missing something obvious, but how do I go about checking what values a specific entry can return?

Thanks,
Rick

Hi Rick,

Unfortunately my experience with groovyBC is still very limited, so I have no idea if you've triggered a bug or not.

But there is something that has been bothering me and I forgot to point it out before: why are you using ".0127" and not "0.0127"?
I know that they should translate to the same thing, but when coding is involved, assuming it should simply work can get dangerous! In the sense that (for some weird reason) "/." could be working as a special mathematical operator...

But then again, way back when I coded in FORTRAN, there was the occasional experience where "3.0/2=1" and "3.0/2.0=1.5"... which is why, one should not assume nothing when it comes to coding!

Best regards,
Bruno

The problem occurs according to the stack trace you posted AFTER groovyBC finished its work and when the thermoModel calculates its properties. My guess is that the range of pos().x was such that you go negative temperatures.

Anyway. You can get intermediate results by setting

debugCommonDriver 1;

in the sub-dict of your boundary but the amount of information is a bit overwhelming

Hi Bernhard,

The thing that puzzles me is that groovyBCFixedValue gives me exactly what I'm after (a linear temperature profile) and solves OK, but groovyBC results in an error. Do you see any problem with using groovyBCFixedValue instead of groovyBC? Or is groovyBCFixedValue actually the preferred command when the values don't change over time?

Thanks,
Rick

Seems that you stumbled upon a bug in groovyBC where during the initialization first the value is used (because evaluation is not possible) and then reset to 0 because the refValue is not set. And a temperature of 0 bothers the thermophysical model. I developed a fix (because the bug popped up for other people too) and pushed it to the mercurial repository. The alternative is to set refValue to a value different from zero (for instance "refValue $value;"). This will only be needed during the initialization and afterward replace by the value of the evaluation

Setting refValue worked like a charm. Thanks Bernhard!
