Hello everyone

I was trying to use the code provided at 'https://doi.org/10.3390/pr7080542' to implement the smoothed CSF. The code was developed based on OpenFOAM6 and I modified it to be compatible with OpenFOAM8. In the end, I got the following error:

Does anyone have an idea what is the reason for the error?

Seams the linker does not find some libraries (files which the ending .so)


probably you forgot something in the file Make/options

Thanks Dear Michael, I will look into this.

Hello everyone,

Although this thread is nearly 3 years old, I've encountered a very similar (if not identical) issue. After much effort, I've managed to find the solution. I hope that by sharing this, others won't have to go through weeks of frustration like I did.

Let me begin by describing my specific problem before delving into the solution I discovered below:

I needed to make modifications to a method within the 'multiphaseInterSystem' class. To achieve this, I duplicated the 'multiphaseSystem' class folder, which inherits from 'multiphaseInterSystem'. I then renamed this duplicated class to 'myMultiphaseSystem' and adjusted the 'Make/files' and 'Make/options' accordingly. I systematically replaced all instances of 'multiphaseSystem' with 'myMultiphaseSystem' using the command "sed -i s/multiphaseSystem/myMultiphaseSystem/g *".

The compilation of the library proceeded without errors or issues. I proceeded to duplicate the 'icoReactingMultiphaseInterFoam' solver. I replaced all instances of 'multiphaseSystem' with 'myMultiphaseSystem' (again using the "sed" command from above), added my custom library to 'Make/options', and made necessary modifications to 'Make/files'. However, upon compiling this application, I encountered the following error:

undefined reference to `Foam::TurbulenceModel<Foam::geometricOneField, Foam::GeometricField<double, Foam::fvPatchField, Foam::volMesh>, Foam::compressibleTurbulenceModel, Foam::multiphaseInter::myMultiphaseSystem>::dictio naryConstructorTable(Foam::word const&)'

[...]

undefined reference to `Foam::TurbulenceModel<Foam::geometricOneField, Foam::GeometricField<double, Foam::fvPatchField, Foam::volMesh>, Foam::compressibleTurbulenceModel, Foam::multiphaseInter::myMultiphaseSystem>::dictio naryConstructorTablePtr_'

I spent a considerable amount of time under the assumption that the issue was related to library linking.
Contrary to my expectations, the error wasn't directly tied to the library I was modifying. (I believe it's connected to the Runtime Selection Model (RTS) PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong. I am unfamiliar with this subject).
As indicated by the error message, the problem involves a "constructor table."


Now, let me share the solution:


I found that the file "compressibleMultiPhaseTurbulenceModels.C," located one subdirectory above the class I duplicated ("multiphaseSystem"), contained instances of the term 'multiphaseSystem'. I identified this using the 'grep' command in Linux. Therefore, I duplicated the "compressibleMultiPhaseTurbulenceModels" file, replaced all occurrences of 'multiphaseSystem' with 'myMultiphaseSystem' (using jet again the sed command as mentioned above), adjusted the 'Make/files' and options accordingly, and compiled this library.
Upon replacing the old 'compressibleMultiPhaseTurbulenceModels' library with the updated version, the problem was resolved, and the error messages vanished.

I hope this explanation proves helpful to someone grappling with a similar issue. I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could provide a more detailed explanation of what exactly I did here to solve the problem. While I suspect it involves the RTS, I'm not entirely certain.

Wishing you all the best with your OpenFOAM projects.

Best regards,
Matthias
