[Other] Problem with creating cyclic patch

malini1408 · March 25, 2019, 08:18

Hello Friends,

I am new to openfoam. I want to simulate a jet operating inside a reactor at atmospheric pressure. I want to simulate only 1/4 th of the reactor. I tried creating a cyclic boundary condition but kept getting errors. My checkmesh also failed.

I am attaching the screenshot of the error.

please can someone tell me what is the problem?

I am attaching the link to my case file

Any help is appreciated

Hey Malini,

The problem seems to be that you are applying the cyclic condition to a boundary that has been defined as a patch. Check your initial conditions file in the 0 folder to see if the type of the boundary is given as cyclic.

Hey AlphaSierra,

Thank you. Simulation seems to run now. Hopefully should converge
