as you see from the attachment, the procBoundary is not flat. How can i get a flat procBoundary? thank you.

ps. my decomposeParDic as follows.

numberOfSubdomains 5;

method          simple;

simpleCoeffs
{
    n               ( 5 1 1 );
    delta           0.001;
}

Hi,

I you have some specific requirements on the decomposition, e.g. flat processor boundaries, then I suggest that you use the manual decomposition method, where you specify, which processors the individual cells belong to.

It is a quite simple operation, which you could e.g. based on the cell centres, which you can obtain based on

writeCellCentres

Kind regards,

Niels

thank u Niels. I got it, with a modified writeCellCentre file. just add a few lines:

forAll(cci, cellID)
{
    pid = (int)(cci[cellID]/LX);    //cellID belongs to which process
    fprintf(fSrc, "%d\n", pid);    //output
    sum[pid]++;            //sum
}

the dataFile is：

FoamFile
{
version 2.0;
format ascii;
class labelList;
location "constant";
object decompDict;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //
124218    //number of cells
(
3    // first cell belongs to process 3
0    // second cell belongs to process 0
...
x    // the cell belongs to process x
2    // last cell belongs to process 2
)

Hi

This thread has a nice description of how to create the file for manual decomposition:
