Problem in setting up no slip boundary condition

swapnil13 · April 20, 2019, 07:53

I am solving flow through pipe. I have three patches of wall as WALL1,WALL2,HEATED WALL.
I am giving no slip boundary condition in U file, but at time of decomposePar command it shows below error

Cannot find 'value' entry on patch WALL1 of field U in file "/home/vortex/OpenFOAM/vortex-3.0.1/run/PIPE/Trial1/0/U"
which is required to set the values of the generic patch field.
(Actual type noSlip)

I assume you use OpenFOAM 3.0.1 from your post. In OpenFOAM 3.0.1, you need to define the no-slip BC by fixedValue and type uniform (0 0 0).

To add to PositronCascade, your pressure would also have to be set to zeroGradient on a wall
