Default Solver Error before it even Runs

Hello Foamers!

I am trying to run a compressible LES case. However when I run the solver, it doesnt even go through a single iteration and it gives me the terrible, floating point exception / SigFpe error. Im pretty sure my BC are set right. But can anyone shed any light on such a problem. Or can someone post up their BC for an compressible LES model so I can compare?

I am trying to simulate a mixer just for your information!

Cheers,
T

Thank you very much for this very detailed error report.
I am pretty sure the SigFpe error is right.

Would you like a copy of the error? I would gladly put it up if you are able to help me out.

Floating exception
just a heads up. The same boundary condition worked for the same model but different mesh...i know that should help me conclude that its a mesh problem. But if there was a mesh problem why wouldnt ccm26ToFoam catch it?

Thanks again

you have a division by zero in your bc or in your field.

It usually is epsilon, or p.
many forget to set p to 1.0e+5 (or the actual pressure) from 0 when going from incompressible to compressible.

thats what I thought as well. But the code ran properly with the other model. all I did was change the mesh. Heres epsilon

Code:
boundaryField
{
    Walls
    {
        type            compressible::epsilonWallFunction;
        value           uniform 200;
    }
    BigInlet
    {
        type            compressible::turbulentMixingLengthDissipationRateInlet;
        mixingLength    0.150;
        value           uniform 200;
    }
    SmallInlet
    {
        type            compressible::turbulentMixingLengthDissipationRateInlet;
        mixingLength    0.0475;
        value           uniform 200;
    }
    Outlet
    {
        type            inletOutlet;
        inletValue      uniform 200;
        value           uniform 200;
    }
}
and p

Code:
internalField   uniform 1.0e5;
boundaryField
{
    Walls
    {
        type            zeroGradient;
    }
    BigInlet
    {
        type            zeroGradient;
    }
    SmallInlet
    {
        type            zeroGradient;
    }
    Outlet
    {
        type            calculated;
    }
}
Any clue? I've been stuck on this guy for awhile...

You cant have a calculated bc, calculated based on what?

either set outlet to

outlet
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform 1.0e+5;
}

or zeroGradient

Hello,

I am trying to implement combustion in OpenFOAM and I get the error below. This happens mid-way during the simulation, after a few time steps.

Any idea why this could be occurring? I am relatively new to using OpenFOAM, so any information would be very much appreciated.

Thanks so much!
