Hi,



I am new to OpenFOAM and got the below error message when I was trying to run a custom solver which was developed using reactingFoam solver.

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
Cannot find patchField entry for inletfuel

file: /home/keshawa/OpenFOAM/keshawa-7/run/reactingFoam/adsorpFoam/0/p.boundaryField from line 26 to line 44.

    From function void Foam::GeometricField<Type, PatchField, GeoMesh>::Boundary::readField(const Foam::DimensionedField<TypeR, GeoMesh>&, const Foam::dictionary&) [with Type = double; PatchField = Foam::fvPatchField; GeoMesh = Foam::volMesh]
    in file /opt/openfoam7/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/GeometricBoundaryField.C at line 191.

FOAM exiting

This is the 0/p code:

dimensions      [1 -1 -2 0 0 0 0];

internalField   uniform 101325;

boundaryField
{
    inlet
    {
    type        zeroGradient;
    }
    outlet
    {
        type            inletOutlet;
    inletValue    uniform 101325;
        value           uniform 101325;
    }
    adsorptwall
    {
        type            zeroGradient;
    }
    wall
    {
        type            zeroGradient;
    }
    frontAndBack
    {
        type            zeroGradient;
    }
}

Appreciate if someone can help me figure out the error.


Thanks for your time,
Kesh

Hi Kesh,


In your mesh, you have a patch named "inletfuel" but it is not defined in your 0/p files (there is "inlet" instead). You need to define a boundary condition for the patch "inletfuel" for every variable in 0.


Cheers,
Yann

Thanks so much for taking time to help me. In fact I was wrong to keep the inletfuel patch. I removed that and made outlet type as fixed value. That worked for me.


Thanks again Yann.
