Hi,

I am using a modified scalarTransportFoam solver (in parallel computing) that has as input the U,nut internalfield and internalfield-BC of T and it resolve only the advection-convection equation for T, but when it reaches the first runtime when it need to write outputfield (it writes U,T,phi, nut, alphaphi (a field created for this solver)) there is an error and the solver stop, without writing output fields. I am pretty sure the problem is due to writing because if I change the writing time it always crash at first writing time. The error log is:

DILUPBiCG:  Solving for T, Initial residual = 3.85006e-05, Final residual = 7.27667e-07, No Iterations 10
Time = 290

DILUPBiCG:  Solving for T, Initial residual = 3.85139e-05, Final residual = 3.75676e-07, No Iterations 13

it is written

2  Foam::swirlFlowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField::write(Foam::Ostream&) const[0] #2  Foam::swirlFlowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField::write(Foam::Ostream&) const[2]

during the simulation for U and nut field I have used swirlFlowRateInletVelocity
as Bc, so probably this is the cause of the crash?

To bypass this problem I have tried to use wirteObjects in controlDict:

	writeObjects1
		{
			type        writeObjects;
			libs        ("libutilityFunctionObjects.so");
			objects     (U nut phi phiAlpha Vdj);
			writeOption noWrite;
			writeControl    runTime;
                       writeInterval  145;
		}
			writeObjects2
		{
			type        writeObjects;
			libs        ("libutilityFunctionObjects.so");
			objects     (T);
			writeOption autoWrite;
			writeControl    runTime;
                       writeInterval  145;
		}

and increased comptational time of 1 step so it would have written the fields then crash, but it worked only for first write time (145) where it wrote only the T field, but at time 290 it wrote U nut phi Vdj but not T and phiAlpha, and it didn't crash, so the problem is in phiAlpha? phiAlpha is a field of surface flux.

I have used this solver in different simulations (but without swirlFlowRateInletVelocity BC) and never had a problem similar to this.

Do you know how to resolve this issue or how to by pass it with a working writeobject for all writeInterval?

I hope I have been clear with the issue,if you have doubt do not esitate to ask
