surfaceFieldValue post-processing

enthusiast · May 16, 2022, 06:35

Hi,
I am unable to create surface filed value post processing operating in controlDict.

I have created the facezone from facesets at the required position inside my mesh domain, I want to take the area average of the alpha.gas phase at this region.

I am getting an error.

Someone please help, this is my thesis work and my work is getting delayed due to this and I am very near to the Deadline.

I am using ESI OF version 8.

Code:

FoamFile
{
    version     2.0;
    format      ascii;
    class       dictionary;
    location    "system";
    object      topoSetDict;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

actions
(
    {
        name    internalFaces;
        type    faceSet;
        action  new;
		
        source  boxToFace;
        sourceInfo
        {
            box (0.9823 0.0965 0.457) (1.002 0.1403 0.528);
        }
    }

	{
        name    internalfacepatch;
        type    faceZoneSet;
        action    new;
		
        source    setToFaceZone;
        sourceInfo
        {
            faceSet    internalFaces; 
			cellSet    internalCells;
			flip    false;
        }
    }

My controlDict

Code:

outlet_oxygen
{
    type            surfaceFieldValue;
    libs            ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");

    log             true;
    writeControl    writeTime;
    writeFields     true;

    surfaceFormat   none;
    regionType      faceZone;
    name            internalfacepatch;

    operation       areaAverage;

    weightField     alpha.oxygen;

    fields
    (
        alpha.oxygen
    );
}

The solver is crashing with this error

Code:

Starting time loop

surfaceFieldValue outlet_oxygen write:
