Hello Foamers,

I am learning OpenFOAM for my PhD. I will be doing wake effect analysis of the shrouded wind turbine by using actuator disc model. I just found a good paper that explains the implementations of an actuator disk in OpenFoam (See the links below).

Furthermore, I found the actuator disk example (attached below) by the same author Erik Svenning posted in upper link, and it was made in version 1.5. I am currently using version 2.3.2. Moreover, I have been able to run blockMesh successfully, however, I can't view the mesh in paraFoam. And I get errors when trying to run simpleFoam of the example.
I am asking if anybody of you could find some time to explain what is exactly wrong with version 2.3.2.

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
Cannot find patchField entry for cyclic fan_half0
Is your field uptodate with split cyclics?
Run foamUpgradeCyclics to convert mesh and fields to split cyclics.

FOAM exiting

Thanks in advance
