Floating point exception error (core dumped)

Hi guys,

I am stuck here while doing a simulation using a density based solver in OpenFOAM. What may be the reasons behind it? Has anyone encountered such problem during their test cases, then please share the ideas.

The problem is shown here..

:con fused:

Code:

Create Riemann solver: #0  Foam::error::printStack(Foam::Ostream&) at ??:?
#1  Foam::sigFpe::sigHandler(int) at ??:?
#2   in "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6"
#3  Foam::sqrt(Foam::Field<double>&, Foam::UList<double> const&) at ??:?
#4  Foam::tmp<Foam::GeometricField<double, Foam::fvPatchField, Foam::volMesh> > Foam::sqrt<Foam::fvPatchField, Foam::volMesh>(Foam::tmp<Foam::GeometricField<double, Foam::fvPatchField, Foam::volMesh> > const&) at ??:?
#5  
 at ??:?
#6

#7  __libc_start_main in "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6"

I also got a similar error in mhdFOAM too.

Code:

#0  Foam::error::printStack(Foam::Ostream&) at ??:?
#1  Foam::sigFpe::sigHandler(int) at ??:?
#2   in "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6"
#3  Foam::smoothSolver::solve(Foam::Field<double>&, Foam::Field<double> const&, unsigned char) const at ??:?
#4  
 at ??:?
#5  
 at ??:?
#6  
 at ??:?
#7  
 at ??:?
#8  __libc_start_main in "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6"
#9  
 at ??:?

I think you forgot to define all the Boundary condition in your blockMeshDict.
