Hello all!

I am having a problem with my case, which has a interface done with the boundary condition cyclicACMI.

When it starts running, Courant number has a nan value and it crashes automatically, as it is shown below:

Courant Number mean: nan max: 2.732019717e-07
deltaT = 1.2e-10
Time = 1.2e-10

PIMPLE: iteration 1
smoothSolver: Solving for Ux, Initial residual = nan, Final residual = nan, No Iterations 1000
smoothSolver: Solving for Uy, Initial residual = nan, Final residual = nan, No Iterations 1000
GAMG: Solving for p, Initial residual = nan, Final residual = nan, No Iterations 50
GAMG: Solving for p, Initial residual = nan, Final residual = nan, No Iterations 50


--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
wrong token type - expected Scalar, found on line 0 the word 'nan'

file: /panfs/storage/s207619/try4_dynOF/system/data.solverPerformance.p at line 0.

From function operator>>(Istream&, Scalar&)
in file lnInclude/Scalar.C at line 93.

FOAM exiting

I can also send the case if anyone could think you might have a clue.

I have attached all the folder of the case, so if anyone can help me I would be really thankful.

Cheers

Hello,

Please check weights for cyclicAMI BC. If weight is very close to zero or zero for some faces it can lead to divergence.

Greetings to all!

@Drew1: If you haven't managed to fix this issue yet, please try upgrading to OpenFOAM 2.3.x, since a few bugs have already been solved regarding ACMI since 2.3.0 was released.

Best regards,
Bruno
