Hi Everyone,

I'm currently trying to install EHDFoam, but I'm having issues compiling it. I know that it was designed for an older version of OpenFOAM and suspect that may be the problem. Does anyone know how to get around this?

Could you post the compilation errors you get?

Hi Bruno,

The first error I get is that there is no 'Make' file in the 'EHDTwoPhaseMixture' folder, so running wmake libso returns the following:

'wmake error: could not find Make directory
wmake error: file 'Make/files' does not exist in /home/harry'

I then try to compile the 'EHDFoam' folder by running wmake libso and the following error is returned:

g++ -m64 -Dlinux64 -DWM_ARCH_OPTION=64 -DWM_DP -DWM_LABEL_SIZE=32 -Wall -Wextra -Wold-style-cast -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-invalid-offsetof -O3 -DNoRepository -ftemplate-depth-100 -I/opt/openfoam30/src/transportModels -I/opt/openfoam30/src/transportModels/incompressible/lnInclude -I/opt/openfoam30/src/transportModels/interfaceProperties/lnInclude -I/opt/openfoam30/src/finiteVolume/lnInclude -IlnInclude -I. -I/opt/openfoam30/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude -I/opt/openfoam30/src/OSspecific/POSIX/lnInclude -fPIC -c EHDFoam.C -o Make/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/EHDFoam.o

make: *** [Make/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/EHDFoam.o] Error 1

I think one of the problems may be the the following:

In the installation instructions file it says:

'1 copy to $FOAM_SRC/transportModels/incompressible
2 add the following line to $FOAM_SRC/transportModels/incompressible/Make/files

EHDTwoPhaseMixture/EHDtwoPhaseMixture.C

3 "wamke libso" in $FOAM_SRC/transportModels/incompressible'

but in the newest version of OpenFoam I cannot see this folder location - is there an equivalent one? So far I have tried compiling in my home directory, in $FOAM_RUN, and in $FOAM_RUN/tutorials/incompressible.

Thanks for your help

Hi,

I noticed that you have the error of the cyclicAMI not being found. Encountered a similar error recently while working on OF24x. The fix, as someone else had pointed out then, was to make sure this line was added in your "options" file

-I$(LIB_SRC)/meshTools/lnInclude

The link to the post is here:

http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam-programming-development/160718-error-making-new-utility-code-cyclicamilduinterface-h-no-such-file-directory.html

Hope this helps.

Hi Antimony,

I have tried your fix and it certainly seems to have helped, though I now get the following error:

Make/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/options:57: *** missing separator. Stop.
Make/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/options:57: *** missing separator. Stop.
Make/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/options:57: *** missing separator. Stop.

I cannot see where in the file a separator is missing, have tried googling the problem and the usual issues (spaces where there should be tabs etc) have not remedied the problem. The original options file is:

EXE_INC = \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/transportModels \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/transportModels/incompressible/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/transportModels/interfaceProperties/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/finiteVolume/lnInclude

EXE_LIBS = \
-linterfaceProperties \
-lincompressibleTransportModels \
-lfiniteVolume \
-llduSolvers

With Antimony's changes applied it looks like this:

EXE_INC = \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/meshTools/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/transportModels \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/transportModels/incompressible/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/transportModels/interfaceProperties/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/finiteVolume/lnInclude

EXE_LIBS = \
-linterfaceProperties \
-lincompressibleTransportModels \
-lfiniteVolume \
-llduSolvers

Hi,

Have you run wclean before doing the wmake?

Hi,

Firstly, sorry for the late reply, I have been rather busy the last week and this took a back seat. I have indeed run wclean but to no avail.

I think one of the big issues is that this solver was created for OpenFOAM 1.5 and since then there have been lots of changes that may affect the compiling process. I was mainly trying to run the program to give me guidance in creating my own ehd solver, but I think I can gain most of the useful info from the source files.

Thanks for your help.

Dear Fellows

There is another version of this solver for FoamExtend 3.1 that compiles easily along with F.E. 3.1.

I have tried it and it compiled without any problem.

[arashma]

I have problem with compiling ehdFoam with of2.1.1 too,would you please give me the new version of ehdFoam solver for openfoam ex 3.1?or where can i found that?

[babakflame]

Hi Arash

If you cant compile the version in 2.1, then you can not compile the FoamExtend version. Post your error , I will help you install it.

If you still wanna continue with FOAM-Extend, version, find the following link:

EHDFoam

The newest version with more options and utilities will publish soon,

[arashma]

thanks for your reply,Thats it:

my openfoam v is:211 and ubuntu 12.04 lts
I do some change in ts his link Issues with EHDFoam Compilation
but still i have it,i tried to install openfoam 1.5 maybe it because the version of that but it was so har to install with source pack and lost git sites,would you help me please?

[babakflame]

Dear Arash

Your error is very clear:
You need to add EHDtwoPhaseMixture.H file in the main directory of solver.
According to the names, I have a feeling that the code you are trying to compile was the old version compatible with OF 1.6

EHDFoam.C:40:32: fatal error: EHDtwoPhaseMixture.H: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [Make/linux64GccDPOpt/EHDFoam.o] Error 1

Since, I dont have access to the source code, you are trying to compile, I want you to compile this version which is compatible with OF 2.1.x (tested by myself) and upload the possible errors:

Since I know which code you are working with

EHDFoam

Dear Bobi
Thanks for your reply bro,I have succeeded to install openFoam 1.5,Then i do the Descriptions in The solver folder Step by Step,first i copy the EHDtwoPhaseMixture.C & EHDtwoPhaseMixture.H in to the ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/src/transportModels/incompressible folder,Then i type in Terminal "wmake libso" and tried to compile EHDtwoPhaseMixture but the error was:
SOURCE=EHDTwoPhaseMixture/EHDtwoPhaseMixture.C ; g++ -m64 -Dlinux64 -DDP -Wall -Wno-strict-aliasing -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -Wold-style-cast -march=opteron -O3 -DNoRepository -ftemplate-depth-40 -I.. -I/home/mein/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/src/finiteVolume/lnInclude -IlnInclude -I. -I/home/mein/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude -I/home/mein/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/src/OSspecific/Unix/lnInclude -fPIC -c $SOURCE -o Make/linux64Gcc43DPOpt/EHDtwoPhaseMixture.o

make: *** [Make/linux64Gcc43DPOpt/EHDtwoPhaseMixture.o] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
Then i do some changes that Salehda(David) suggested that in this link :
EHDFoam
it means i changed :
//- Return the kinematic laminar viscosity
virtual const volScalarField& nu() const
{
return nu_;
}
to
//- Return the kinematic laminar viscosity
virtual tmp<volScalarField& nu() const
{
return nu_;
}
but still i have this log error:
SOURCE=EHDTwoPhaseMixture/EHDtwoPhaseMixture.C ; g++ -m64 -Dlinux64 -DDP -Wall -Wno-strict-aliasing -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -Wold-style-cast -march=opteron -O3 -DNoRepository -ftemplate-depth-40 -I.. -I/home/mein/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/src/finiteVolume/lnInclude -IlnInclude -I. -I/home/mein/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude -I/home/mein/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/src/OSspecific/Unix/lnInclude -fPIC -c $SOURCE -o Make/linux64Gcc43DPOpt/EHDtwoPhaseMixture.o

i do wclean before any changes but still it doesnt any effect on the compiling.
thanks

Dear bobi
Thanks for your fast replay,I have installed openfoam 1.5,1.5.x,2.1.1,2.1.x on ubuntu 12.04 LTS.In all of them i have same error,in of2.1.x of21x-ubuntu12.04.txt after delete word "virtual" the error is the same delvirtual.txt.Then I Setup ubuntu 16.10 and Openfoam 2.1.1 and 4.0 on it(not succesed to install of2.1.x).with version 4 I still have a error but on the 2.1.1 I think i have compile the EHDTwoPhaseMixture EHDTwoPhaseMixture.txt and then i go to the EHDFoam folder and do "wmake" or "wmake libso" and the log error isehdfoam.txt
,1-what should i do with this problems 2-would you tell me witch version of ubuntu and openfoam you have installed? 3-I have compiled the ivoo 's code how can i use it for this field(electrowething)in that folder he put some samples but in paraFoam i have n't seen good changes in droplet or...? Thanks bobi

[babakflame]

Dear Arash

Ivo's code is just an update to the original EHDFoam. Basically, the same equations are solved in both codes. So, if you want to work on electrowetting stick to ivo's code.

You can find his paper regarding this issue, in EHDFoam thread (under his post).

The General EHDFoam was written for O.F. 1.6, the ivo's version is for 2.1.x

A new EHDFoam will be published soon for recent versions of O.F.

Hello Everyone,

I am new to OpenFoam.

Based on the solver (EHDFoam) posted in this thread, I have combined electrical equations with buoyantBoussinesqPimpleFoam.

My intention is to have a solver for single phase EHD flow. I am able to compile the solver successfully.

Could some one please suggest me a good benchmark case to validate the solver.

Thank You.

With Thanks.
Pavithra.
