I am trying to simulate flow past a square cylinder using pisofoam-pitzDaily. I get the following error when I want to get the file for plotting inital data. The content of 0/U are also pasted below.

you lose a semicolon after fluctuationScale (0.002 0.001 0.001)

hi ,
i am getting following error message. i used fuel inlet type uniformFixedValue but error shows uniformValue

FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:

any suggestions to correct this mistake

[Cyp]

I suggest you to learn how to read the error message. The info there is very relevant.

You have,

FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
keyword uniformValue is undefined in dictionary "/scratch/ssvivek/multiphasetutorial/multiphase/interFoam/injector/0/alpha.water.boundaryField.FUEL_INLET"

file: /scratch/ssvivek/multiphasetutorial/multiphase/interFoam/injector/0/alpha.water.boundaryField.FUEL_INLET from line 34 to line 35.

meaning that in your file alpha.water (in the directory 0) the keyword "uniformValue" is missing for your boundary called FUEL_INLET. More precisely, the error is from line 34 to 35.

so, you need to add the keyword "uniformValue" instead of "value".

Cheers,

[vivek05]

Thanks Cyprien!!

My code is
32 FUEL_INLET
33 {
34 type uniformFixedValue;
35 value uniform 1;
}

to changed like

32 FUEL_INLET
33 {
34 type uniformFixedValue;
35 uniformValue uniform 1;
}

is it correct ?
