Dear foamers,

I have a little problem with the swakThermoTurbFunctionPlugin. I am using OF 2.3.x and chtMultiRegionFoam solver. My intention is to use the Cp value from the thermophysicalProperties file from a solid region for further calculations using swak4foam. So as to access its value I thought about using swakThermoTurbFunctionPlugin. This is my definition in controlDict:

functions
{
    thermo_Cp
    {
        type            expressionField;
        region          fasana;
        fieldName       Cp;
        expression      "thermo_Cp()";
        autowrite       true;
    }

...
}

libs (
    "libgroovyBC.so"
    "libsimpleFunctionObjects.so"
    "libsimpleSwakFunctionObjects.so"
    "libswakFunctionObjects.so"
    "libgroovyStandardBCs.so"
    "libswakThermoTurbFunctionPlugin.so"
);

I guess that this is the correct call to the Cp value from the solid region... However, when I run the solver I get this error message:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
Attempt to return dictionary entry as a primitive

I don't know what exactly means "Attempt to return dictionary entry as a primitive" so I don't know what to do next. The only think I did was to check the thermophysicalProperties file from the solid region to check lines 19-25 and these are the referredlines:

FoamFile
{
    version     2.0;
    format      ascii;
    class       dictionary;
    object      thermophysicalProperties;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

thermoType
{
    type            heSolidThermo;
    mixture         pureMixture;
    transport       constIso;
    thermo          hConst;
    equationOfState rhoConst;
    specie          specie;
    energy          sensibleEnthalpy;
}

mixture
{
    specie
    {
        nMoles      1;
        molWeight   50;
    }

    transport
    {
        kappa   0.5;
    }

    thermodynamics
    {
        Hf      0;
        Cp      50;
    }

    equationOfState
    {
        rho     3000;
    }
}

What's the problem? Am I doing something wrong or is there another way to evaluate this term?

Many thanks for any help you can give me.

Regards,

Alex

No answers untill now for this little problem? Did anyone experience this before?

Thanks
