Hi all,
I am trying to implement the IBS method in openfoam ext 4.1, using rhoPimpleFoam as solver.


I managed to implement everything that is needed to run with my solver the tutorial case "MovingCylinderInChannelTurbulent", however I still cannot include the energy equation.


if I give the following boundary condition for T, to the cylinder:

ibCylinder
{
type fixedValueIb;
patchType immersedBoundary;
triValue uniform 500;
setDeadValue yes;
deadValue 500;
value uniform 500;
}

the solver doesn't recognize the boundary condition and gives the following error, as soon as it enters the energy equation:


FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Not implemented

From function immersedBoundary::gradientInternalCoeffs()
in file lnInclude/fvPatchField.H at line 473.

FOAM aborting


Would you be so kind to help me out with this problem? Is it at all possible to use the IBS method including heat transfer? has anyone done something similar?

Thanks
