my potentialFoam seems does'nt work

panda60 · January 19, 2010, 03:43

Dear all:

my potentialFoam seems does'nt work.

Calculating potential flow
DICPCG: Solving for p, Initial residual = 0, Final residual = 0, No Iterations 0
continuity error = 0
Interpolated U error = 0
ExecutionTime = 19.07 s ClockTime = 19 s

It seems that the internalField haven't been initialised. why this happened ? If it is because my mesh was generated using Fluent ?

could anyone help me ? it seems very strange.
what I must pay attention to when using potentialFoam ?

Hi,

i think you should check your boundary conditions.

Hi panda60, what was the problem in your case?
Because I observed same strange behavior from potentionalFoam run.

Many thanks.
