hello:
I want to set the interpolation scheme bu the function
fvc::interpolate(TA, "upwind")
fvc::interpolate(TA, "linear")
but it seems the scheme name in the " " has no effects on the implementation. I changed the scheme name to an arbitray word, it still can run.
fvc::interpolate(TA, "upwindasdfasdf")
Could ou please give me some suggestions.

Hi,

Probably you can investigate by switching on few debug switches. foamInstallationDir/etc/controlDict lists all relevant switches which can be toggled as per requirement to get more information while running application. Find surfaceInterpolation keyword and set it to 1 in above controlDict or copy locally to case folder.

It should give more clarity than nothing.

Thanks

Thanks, not in the controlDict, i set it in the source file.

Hi,

Very nice approach. However, could you let me know how can debug switches be toggled within application without using controlDict?

Also, I recommend to have practice of share the solution to asked question, whenever you find the answer. It will help yourself as well as community.

Thanks

Hello,
as far as i remember the word in " " is just a keyword, not a scheme name. You need to specify an interpolation scheme for this keyword in fvSchemes.

For example:

interpolationSchemes
{
    [...]

    upwindasdfasdf    upwind;
}

Otherwise the default interpolation scheme will be used.
