The problem is probably a mixing of point fields (fields defined on the vertices - which pts() is) and face fields (which is the regular thing). swak does not automatically interpolate between these (reasons are: loss of precision and ambiguity)

Either you juggle with the toFace() to toPoint() functions (see Examples) or you use pos() instead of pts() (which I think is what you wanted to use in the first place)

[immortality]

thanks.I want to use fields on vertices.because I want the points on the patch gradually change from wall condition to environment(p0,T0).then I should use for example toPoint(U.x)? U should be internalField(U.x) for reading U from neighbour cells in grid.how should I merge these then?
thank you and best regards.

I think what you want is rewrite some of the variables to points form ("ymax=max(pts().y);") and use the face positions ("pos()") in the main expression.

Draw yourself a sketch of a small sketch (5 faces or so are sufficient) and think what the difference in point and face positions mean for your expression

I changed all terms to pos() function.but this error appeared:

How am I supposed to easily see which')' the '^' points too?

Using the CODE-tag for terminal output improves the usefulness tremendously (although in my example the '^' is still not at the right place):

Anyway: your problem probably is that in OpenFOAM sqr of a vector is a symmetric tensor but in your expression the parser expects a scalar. So either use sqr(mag(U)) and then square it or something like U&U (insert the internalField correctly to make it work the way you want to)

Look at where the ^ is pointing. There's 6 '(' and this is the 7th ')' so the error message is spot-on: there is no way that at any point in the expression can there be more closing ')' than opening '('.

Have you ever considered to think for 5 minutes about what the error message means and whether it could be your input that caused it? I think that would be faster than copy/pasting it to the message board and waiting for someone else to do the thinking you should have done. Especially if people stop answering

thanks.sorry also I grasped it after sending.good people never refuse to help even if the question is silly.
thanks for your help.
