Hello

I am trying to run a case based on the tutorial "hotroom" using buoyantBoussinesqPimpleFoam.

I have changed the boundary conditions as I need to have an inlet wind and an outlet that's open to the atmosphere and the ceiling as well. I have only the side walls and the ground as Wall Type.

I run the blockMesh then decompose the case and run setFields on parallel, all this is normal without errors.

But when I try to run the solver I get this error:

 --> FOAM FATAL ERROR: 
[2] 
    request for volScalarField thermo:psi from objectRegistry region0 failed
    available objects of type volScalarField are

[2]     in file /home/ubuntu/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-4.1/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/objectRegistryTemplates.C at line 193.

Although that I am defining the volScalarField as T in the setFieldsDict:

defaultFieldValues
(
    volScalarFieldValue T 300
);

regions
(
    // Set patch values (using ==)
    boxToFace
    {
        box (4.5 1.5 -1000) (5.5 2.5 1e-5);

        fieldValues
        (
            volScalarFieldValue T 500
        );
    }
);

Here is my BCs:

wall	: floor
    scalar		nut		generic
    scalar		k		generic
    scalar		p_rgh		fixedFluxPressure
    scalar		alphat		generic
    scalar		p		calculated
    scalar		T		fixedValue
    scalar		epsilon		generic
    vector		U		noSlip

patch	: ceiling
patch	: outlet
    scalar		nut		calculated
    scalar		k		calculated
    scalar		p_rgh		totalPressure
    scalar		alphat		calculated
    scalar		p		calculated
    scalar		T		totalTemperature
    scalar		epsilon		calculated
    vector		U		pressureInletOutletVelocity

patch	: inlet
    scalar		nut		calculated
    scalar		k		calculated
    scalar		p_rgh		zeroGradient
    scalar		alphat		calculated
    scalar		p		calculated
    scalar		T		fixedValue
    scalar		epsilon		calculated
    vector		U		fixedValue

wall	: sideWalls
    scalar		nut		generic
    scalar		k		generic
    scalar		p_rgh		fixedFluxPressure
    scalar		alphat		generic
    scalar		p		calculated
    scalar		T		zeroGradient
    scalar		epsilon		generic
    vector		U		noSlip

Any suggestions please or could someone explain to me why the error has "volScalarField thermosi" ? should't be the T?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I faced the same error, have you fixed it yet?
I checked the source code of buoyantBoussinesqPimpleFoam and can't find 'thermosi' in it.
