Hello foamers,

I'm calculating the magnitude via mag() function for two scalarfields qOwn and qNbr2own. It's working at the beginning, but after some iterations I'm getting the error:

qOwn and qNbr2own are defined as

But if I try to calculate mag(mag(qOwn) - mag(qNbr2own)) I'm getting the result: mag(mag(qOwn) - mag(qNbr2own)) = 200{0}

For the sake of completeness I've attached the log file.

[ngj]

Hi,

The line

... = 200{0}

simply tells you that the difference between each of the 200 elements in each list returns 0. The mag-operator does not yield an error, it merely utilises a short-hand notation, when all entries in a field are identical, which turns out to be the difference for your difference.

Kind regards

Niels

Thank you Niels for your answer. I've assumed, if mag(x) gives an error, so mag(mag(x)-(mag(y)) has to produce an error, too.

I've changed the definiton of qOwn from:

    const fvPatchScalarField& Town = *this; //Temperature of own face (Tsolid, if regionCoupleTemperature is set in solid bc)
    const scalarField& qOwn = kS.value()*Town.snGrad();

to

    const fvPatchScalarField& Town = *this; //Temperature of  own face (Tsolid, if regionCoupleTemperature is set in solid bc)
    scalarField qOwn = kS.value()*Town.snGrad();

Right now, the solver is still running. This change might solve the problem.
