Dear Dr. Jacobsen,

I am trying to simulate the tutorial waveFlume in parallel and the sequence of commands used are as follows:

• blockMesh
• cp –r 0.org 0 (The case directory had 0.org,constant and system folders)
• setWaveParameters
• setWaveField
• decomposePar

After the command decomposePar, the following error is displayed:

Request for dictionary waveProperties from objectRegistry region0 failed available objects of type dictionary are
4
(
decompseParDict
fvSchemes
fvSolution
data
)

The method used for domain decomposition in the decomposeParDict under system folder is ‘hierarchical’.
numberOfSubdomains is 4
hierarchicalCoeffs
{
n (2 2 1)
delta 0.001
order xyz
}

Kindly can you please provide me your guidance. Thank you for your time.

Not an expert on waveFoam but I recommend to

1. check spellings and formats in the waveProperties file
2. check all the domain and boundary names in the waveProperties file.
3. check header of the waveProperties file.

No, the problem is related to the fact that the waveProperties-file is not loaded with decomposePar and waveProperties is required by the boundary conditions waveAlpha and waveVelocity.

I am often completely ignoring waveAlpha and waveVelocity, since I have a relaxation zone in front. Alternatively, you can use changeDictionary functionality to switch back and forth between a dummy zeroGradient and the true boundary condition.

I will put it on my to-do list to resolve this issue.

Kind regards,

Niels

Dear Dr. Jacobsen,

Thank you for your reply. As suggested will try using 'changeDictionary' option for now.Thank you.
