Hi All,

I am a new user of waves2Foam and just tried to run the tutorial waveflume. but it shows the error that in 0/U, the inlet boundaryfield type waveVelocity is undefined. It shows the following error

FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
Unknown patchField type waveVelocity for patch type patch

Please help me out of this situation.
Thanks in advance

Hallo Khalid,

Welcome. How did you execute the tutorial?

Kind regards,

Hi Niels,

thanks for your response. I have openFOAM 2.4. I just copied contents of 0, constant and system in a seperate directly within the designated folders, then ran the blockMesh command, checkMesh and then interFoam. It showed an error about the name of P file in the 0 folder to change it to p_rgh. I did it and then it showed this error about waveVelocity.

Hi Khalid,

You have to execute the Allrun script. Also, it is important that you do not move the case, since the relative path to the waves2Foam directory is important for correct execution.

Kind regards,

Niels

Hi Niels,

Thanks for your help. the problem was that the waves2Foam was not picking the proper files for the tutorials. I sorted it out.

Hello Neils,
Thanks first of all for your Wave Generation Toolbox.
I succeeded with the installation of waves2Foam on my computer. I just followed the instructions in this website. https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Contrib/waves2Foam.
Now I am trying to run the tutorial cases in order to be more familiar with this library. In particular, I want to run the "waveFlume" case.
I can visualize the grid in Paraview as well as the other control files.
Everything seems that is fine, however when I am trying to run the case with the "waveFoam" solver, the following error message appears:

ubuntu@ubuntu-VirtualBox:~/OpenFOAM/ubuntu-3.0.1/applications/utilities/waves2Foam/tutorials/waveFoam/waveFlume$ waveFoam
waveFoam: command not found

Any advice or comment will be useful!
Best Regards.
C. Santiago.

Hallo C. Santiago,

The solver waveFoam is not distributed for minor versions of OpenFoam such as OpenFoam 3.0.1. You will have to create the solver yourself.

Kind regards,

Niels
