Hi,

I m trying to use the dynamic LES models in the version 1.6 . Among the various models, only Smagorinsky and oneEqEddy model. The others are giving that error when I m running :

Selecting incompressible transport model Newtonian
Selecting turbulence model type LESModel
Selecting LES turbulence model dynSmagorinsky


keyword filter is undefined in dictionary ""

file:

From function dictionary::lookupEntry(const word&, bool, bool) const
in file db/dictionary/dictionary.C at line 388.

FOAM exiting

I can confirm this behaviour.

That is true, the choice of filter does not currently have a default and to use the dynamic models you will need to specify the filter you want to use. Do you think the
filter should have a default? If so which one do you think it should default to?

Hi Henry,

it used to default to "simple" filter in previous versions of OF, but probably a slightly different error message could also do the job. Something along the lines of

keyword filter is undefined in dictionary "dynSmagorinskyCoeffs"
...
Please specify a filter as in the example

dynSmagorinskyCoeffs
{
filter simple;
}

Well, maybe this is a bit too long, but it gives the idea. I think the main difficulty zakk had was to find where to put the filter keyword.

Thanks.

I have pushed a development of "dictionary" into OpenFOAM-1.6.x which generates better warning and error messages. I hope that for this case it will make clearer what entries need to be added to the dynSmagorinskyCoeffs dictionary.
