Error while trying to run WigleyHull example

guzman · September 16, 2015, 07:41

I am new to OpenFoam and am trying to run a range of examples.
I found the WigleyHull example, which appears to be created in version 2.1.0. I am failing to install this version, as I have installed Ubuntu v14.04. The example appears to be related to an older Ubuntu version.
In trying to run this example, I receive the following error message:

"
--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
request for volScalarField alpha1 from objectRegistry region0 failed
available objects of type volScalarField are

20
(
rSubDeltaT
alpha.water_0
interfaceProperties:K
nut
alpha.water
rho
k
p_rgh
nu
gh
nu1
rDeltaT
p
rho_0
nu2
alpha.air
k_0
omega
omega_0
y
)
"

Can anyone help me out here? What do I need to add/change to get this example to run?

Many thanks in advance.

you seem to run a newer OF version. Naming scheme for phase properties has changed in 2.3.0 (see here). But there is a newer (and imho better) hull resistance tutorial case (called DTCHull), also featuring dynamic trim and sinkage. Maybe you try this one..?
