postChannel works fine on tutorial case. Also it works on a half-channel (2 blocks in y direction), full channel 4 blocks (ordered in y direction). I tried it on half-channel (1 block) and it gave me the following error:

Create mesh for time = 0


Reading transportProperties
Collapsing fields for time constant
Collapsing fields for time 0
Collapsing fields for time 1000
Foam::error::printStack(Foam:stream&)
Foam::sigSegv::sigSegvHandler(int)

postChannel [0x437ed4]
postChannel [0x40e6a1]
__libc_start_main
__gxx_personality_v0
Segmentation fault

I checked the fields:

• no nan.
• paraFoam can visualize them.

.

Any idea what does that error message imply?

Best regards,

error message reproduced on channel395 tutorial

to reproduce the error message on channel395 tutorial:

(1) make a channel of one block. blockMeshDict
(2) remove boundary file.
(3) replace 0 folder with a copy of 0.org (no mapFields related issues).
(4) run and write 5 times step. controlDict
(5) run postChannel

Thanks.

Problem solved.

That error message was due to a mismatch between postChannelDict entries and the blockMeshDict.

postChannelDict requires entering the no cells in each block (blocks are only allowed normal to y direction), manually and it does not read it automatically from the mesh.

It is typical that you change the grid resolution or number of blocks in blockMeshDict and forget to update the postChannelDict accordingly which results in either bad collapsed profiles or the above error.

I solve the problem... I download the OF patch (OpenFOAM-1.5.x) and after remake all, postChannel works fine.

The problem was in the postChannelDict, infact the new version is a little bit different.

Best regards
