[Nidhin R]

Hey,
I am new to OpenFoam and have been rying to eorkout the breakwater tutorials in IHFOAM. when i got the following error

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
keyword phases is undefined in dictionary "/home/nidhin/OpenFOAM/nidhin-2.3.0/run/breakwater/constant/transportProperties"

file: /home/nidhin/OpenFOAM/nidhin-2.3.0/run/breakwater/constant/transportProperties from line 20 to line 69.

.

the transportProperties line 20 to line 69 is as follows:

phase1 phase1;
phase2 phase2;
}

}
}

sigma sigma [ 1 0 -2 0 0 0 0 ] 0.07;

can someone suggest whatt need to be done??

I'm not familiar with the solver but I think it should be something like

phases (water air);

or

phases (phase1 phase2);

depending on your OF version.

hey,
I am newto OpenFoam and I am using OpenFoam v-2006
I am working with wigleyHull case from https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM...oam/wigleyHull

I ran setFields and got the following error

I tried copying alpha1 data into a new file with name alpha.alpha1 and then I get the following error

hope someone can help

I would guess that you need to define a solver for "alpha.alpha1" in fvSolution.

[vava10]

thank you.
It helped.
