Hello,

I am running a pipe flow simulation with cyclic boundary conditions in parallel using the pimpleFoam solver in OpenFOAM-2.2.x. After it reached 0.06 seconds of CPU time I used 'reconstructPar -latestTime' to reconstruct the parallel results.

When it restarted the simulation from 0.06 seconds I got the following error:

Code:
[0] --> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
[0] keyword gradient is undefined in dictionary "/scratch/carter/d/Daniel/all_walls_10D_duct_target_pipe_LES/processor0/0.06/uniform/momentumSourceProperties"
[0] 
[0] file: /scratch/carter/h/hlalit/all_walls_10D_duct_target_pipe_LES/processor0/0.06/uniform/momentumSourceProperties

FOAM parallel run exiting
I am using a dynamicSmagonrinsky model and the following are my boundary conditions:

Code:
U:

internalField   nonuniform List<vector>
(
                   ........................
                   ........................
);

boundaryField
{
    Inlet
    {
        type            cyclic;
    }
    Outlet
    {
        type            cyclic;
    }
    Side
    {
        type            fixedValue;
        value           uniform (0 0 0);
    }
}

P:

internalField   nonuniform List<vector>
(
                   ........................
                   ........................
);

boundaryField
{
    Inlet
    {
        type            cyclic;
    }
    Outlet
    {
        type            cyclic;
    }
    Side
    {
        type            zeroGradient;
    }
}

nuSgs:

internalField   nonuniform List<vector>
(
                   ........................
                   ........................
);

boundaryField
{
    Inlet
    {
        type            cyclic;
    }
    Outlet
    {
        type            cyclic;
    }
    Side
    {
        type            zeroGradient;
    }
}
Can someone please help me out ???

Thanks!

Hi,

According to http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=922 it was resolved by commit 4046562d705c527e2e6f6eebc16c459e151215c7.
