Error when running OpenFOAM parallel on WSL

wyj216 · July 6, 2021, 04:10

I installed OpenSUSE on Windows 10 WSL. The OpenFOAM version is 2012. The openmpi works fine with the test

Code:

mpirun -np 2 echo "test"

OpenFOAM works fine when running serial (I use simpleFoam), but when I tried to run it parallel with the either

Code:

runParallel simpleFoam

or

Code:

mpirun -np 4 simpleFoam -parallel

the following errors occur

Code:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
mpirun noticed that process rank 0 with PID 11920 on node T20404-LR004 exited on signal 11 (Segmentation fault).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried without mpirun, i.e. directly with the following command

Code:

simpleFoam -parallel

The same error and same backtrace was reported.

I checked some relative threads but did not find the solution. Does anyone have idea to solve it? Thanks in advance.

I just solved it by upgrading openSUSE from 15.1 to 15.3. If anyone faces the same problem, here is the link to upgrade openSUSE

And it worked in windowns WSL.
