SOWFA installation and first tutorial run

er_ijaz · December 31, 2022, 08:53

Our team intends to conduct CFD assessments of wind turbine wake aerodynamics. Previously, we utilized ANSYS FLUENT; we now want to use SOWFA. We are familiar with OpenFOAM but not with SOWFA.
Based on https://github.com/pablo-benito/SOWFA-installation, we installed SOWFA.
In the final part under "Runtime configuration," it was said that we must export all libraries to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
When I run this comment “${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}”, I get this error “No such file or directory”
Also, when I try to run the example case “/example.ABL.flatTerrain.neutral”
I get this error
“./runscript.preprocess
./runscript.preprocess: line 79: /home/yusuffuzail/.bash_profile: No such file or directory
./runscript.preprocess: line 80: OpenFOAM-2.4.x: command not found
-Renumbering the mesh with renumberMesh...
-Decomposing the domain with decomposePar...
-Checking the mesh with checkMesh...”
Can you please help me in fixing this issue or troubleshoot this error?
