glibc detected a double free or memory corruption as icoFoam terminated after a successful run in OF-1.5.

The error message is below. If necessary I can provide my case.

[henry]

Did you install the binary release of 1.5 or build from sources? If the former try building from sources to be sure the OpenFOAM build is consistent with all the components of your OS.

[aunola]

I installed the binaries. I will try a rebuild, re-run the case and let you know what happens.

[aunola]

Building from sources was adventourous. It did however not solve the problem (on Fedora 9). It happens only for medium to large size problems (> 1 million cells). The case runs fine on an older Fedora 7 installation though, so OF seems to be exculpated.

[mattijs]

You seem to be running a 32bit installation. With large problem sizes you might get over the 32 bit pointer capability (2-4Gb, depending on OS). Try running the 64 bit version (on a 64 bit machine obviously).

[aunola]

It is a 32 bit machine but that is not the problem. The mesh was generated with snappyHexMesh which had no problems with addressing the cells. I noticed it also happens for small cases with about 500k cells, which wouldn't be plagued by any addressing problems.

The problem seems to be with the libraries on my installation. I have gone back to Fedora 7 and all is well.

Apologies for reporting a problem not caused by OF.

[mattijs]

Sounds a bit like http://www.cfd-online.com/cgi-bin/OpenFOAM_Discus/show.cgi?tpc=126&post=22338#POST223 38

But that should be independent of problem size.

Another one is there is an indexing problem with snappyHexMesh in 1.5 which occasionally turns up. Do you get the same problem in 1.5.x?

[aunola]

Surprisingly, no. I used the exact same Fedora 9 install as the one on which 1.5 build from sources fails. I have not yet investigated further why 1.5 and 1.5.x behave differently on my distro. I am inclined to categorize it is a peculiarity of my system.

[Bob]

Hi,
After compiling without any errors a modified model for incompressible flows (boussinesqBuoyantTurbFoam), I encounter the error below when I run the case.
This case is only a few thousends of computational cell in size and I Installed OF from the source files as Henry suggested previously.

Actually, the error is twofold:
1) "boussinesqBuoyantTurbFoam: double free or corruption " - meaning???
2) "nu" is undefined

Could the first error be linked to the viscosity "nu" which seems not to be defined although it is included in the readTransportProperties.H as:

dimensionedScalar rho0
(
transportProperties.lookup("rho0")
);
dimensionedScalar nu
(
dimensionedScalar(transportProperties.lookup("mu") )/rho0
);

and in transportProperties.H I have the following:

mu mu [1 -1 -1 0 0 0 0] 1e-03;
rho0 rho0 [1 -3 0 0 0 0 0] 998.2; //density at 20°C

I do not see any reason why it should not work. Is there somewhere a conflict with the turbulence model?

Does anyone have an idea about this error?

Many thanks in advance!

Regards,
Bob

[mattijs]

1) double corruption means that some allocated memory gets deleted twice. You can investigate these problems with e.g. valgrind. It usually happens from having an OpenFOAM debug symbol twice in your executable or libraries.

2) From your traceback : your solver uses an incompressibleRASModels which uses the transport model (incompressible) which tries to extract the necessary data from the transportProperties dictionary. Since it is incompressible it only knows about nu.

Dear Mattijs,

Many thanks for the answers!
