Setting up of denseParticleFoam

josepaulb · June 13, 2023, 08:00

Hello

I am currently validating a study on sediment transport problem in openfoam 10.I have used MPPICCloud in cloud properties.
This is the error i am receiving while running in denseParticleFoam as a trial.The geometry is cuboid with inlet,outlet,bed(wall) and symmetry boundaries.

Code:

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

I searched for previous posts regarding same problem and tried to change according to the recommendations.
I don't where else should I define phi.But still I am getting the error.

These are the boundary conditions used.I am combining into a single code block

.

Could someone give any suggestions for the change I should make?Any suggestions are fine.

Hi,
It is a bit late, however i post my solution just in case. I had the same problem and i solved it via setting "phi phi.x;" where x is a placeholder for the name of your phase.

However, I see that you have a similar line per patch commented out. Did you try it?
