Dear All,


I'm currently running openfoam4 in CAELinux environment.


I set up a simple case of an horizontal channel where air enters from the left and exits from the right. All the walls are adiabatic exepts for the top wall which I set fixedIncidentRadiation BC.
The idea is to setup a channel that heats the air flux by means of an external radiative source.



The solver used is buoyantSimpleFoam.



The problem is that in my openfoam version, fixedIncidentRadiation is not defined and the error that appears is this:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
Unknown patchField type fixedIncidentRadiation for patch type patch

Valid patchField types are :

I tried to follow some tutorials on adding custom BC in openfoam but I failed.
Could you please help me?


Thanks in advance,
