Hii all,

I m very new to OF. I m using OpenFoam-5. I m trying to run interFoam solver for flow around ship with water & air. When i run the solver i get the following error-

Cannot find patchField entry for outlet

file: C:/PROGRA~1/BLUECF~1/ofuser-of5/run/DTCHull-newBC/0/U.boundaryField from line 11 to line 77.

It says it cannot find patchField entry for outlet for velocity file "U". I have given codedfixedvalue for inlet & zeroGradient for outlet as can be seen in below code.


[U]


#include "include/initialConditions"

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

internalField uniform (0 0 0);

boundaryField
{
//- Set patchGroups for constraint patches
#includeEtc "caseDicts/setConstraintTypes"


outlet
{
type zeroGradient;
}


inlet
{
type codedFixedValue;
value uniform (0 0 0);
redirectType velocityLowerInlet;
code #{
const fvPatch& boundaryPatch = patch();
const vectorField& Cf = boundaryPatch.Cf();
vectorField& field = *this;
scalar miny = -25;
scalar maxy = 5;
scalar minz = -20;
scalar maxz = 5;
forAll(Cf, faceI)
{
if (
(Cf[faceI].y() > miny) &&
(Cf[faceI].y() < maxy) &&
(Cf[faceI].z() > minz) &&
(Cf[faceI].z() < maxz)
)
{
field[faceI] = vector (1, 0, 0);
}

}

#}

}



atmosphere
{
type pressureInletOutletVelocity;
value uniform (0 0 0);
}

hull
{
type noSlip;
}

//movingWallVelocity;
// value //uniform (0 0 0);

}

I get the same error after i run setFields also. Below is my setField code-

defaultFieldValues
(
volScalarFieldValue alpha.water 0
volVectorFieldValue U (0 0 0)
);

regions
(
// Set cell values
// (does zerogradient on boundaries)
boxToCell
{
box (-26 -19 -16) (16 0 4);

fieldValues
(
volScalarFieldValue alpha.water 1
volVectorFieldValue U (-1.668 0 0)
);
}

// Set patch values (using ==)
boxToFace
{
box (-26 -19 -16) (16 0 4);

fieldValues
(
volScalarFieldValue alpha.water 1
volVectorFieldValue U (-1.668 0 0)
);
}
);

Can anyone tell me how to solve this?? or if anything is missing from my files.

Thanks in advance
