I am trying to work on an airfoil model and I'm currently using openFoam 2.3 version. the following link has the case that I am working on so far:

http://www.tfd.chalmers.se/~hani/kur...bedi/files.tgz

I am a beginner in OpenFoam. the problem is when I try to run a simpleFoam I face this problem.

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Unknown RASModel type mySpalartAllmaras

Valid RASModel types:

18
(
LRR
LamBremhorstKE
LaunderGibsonRSTM
LaunderSharmaKE
LienCubicKE
LienCubicKELowRe
LienLeschzinerLowRe
NonlinearKEShih
RNGkEpsilon
SpalartAllmaras
kEpsilon
kOmega
kOmegaSST
kkLOmega
laminar
qZeta
realizableKE
v2f
)


From function RASModel::New(const volVectorField&, const surfaceScalarField&, transportModel&, const word&)
in file RASModel/RASModel.C at line 140.

FOAM exiting

could you give the solution step by step please??!!!

note that I am working in this case in an separated copy from OpenFoam 2.3 files.


thanks in advance..

Openfoam is telling you that your turbulent model "my spalartallmaras" has not been recognized. Maybe you forgot to compile it.

Are you sure the files you have used are compatible with v2.3.x?
Could you successfully compiled the new turbulence model?

If both answers are "yes", you have add the a line to the controlDict such as
libs ("libmyIncompressibleTurbulenceModels.so");

If one of the answers is "no", you have to learn howto compile new models to the OpenFOAM first...

I am sure that the files compatible with the version,

it's probably because of the compiling of the new models? how to do this? please give a step by step explanation??


note that the line libs ("libmyIncompressibleTurbulenceModels.so");
is already added to the controlDict ...

1. Extract the zip (Downloaded from the link you have shared).
2. Go to the src folder using command line.
3. Run "wclean"
4. Run "wmake libso"

Should be working then.

If not then share output from running these commands.

When you get an error message, it would be helpful if you share it.

it gives me this error message when I excuse wmake

As you can see in the model developers paper below

http://www.tfd.chalmers.se/~hani/kur...ort_task_3.pdf

This model has been developed for OpenFOAM-1.7.x. So you have two options;

1. Use OpenFOAM 1.7.x

2. First implement the new model for the v2.3 according to the pdf above then compile...

Have u got the OpenFoam1.7.x versions link for ubuntu system??

+

How do you know that the model has been developed for this specific version???
