two phase vof problem, problem with thermophysical properties

karthik1414 · March 11, 2011, 06:43

hello all,
I am new to openfoam and cannot figure out anything from the error

For calculating the thermophysicalproperties of the two phase vof problem, we used hRhoThermo, according to the example in tutorial link https://github.com/OpenCFD/OpenFOAM-...onLiquidHeater
we have included all the pointers, included specie in options,etc... and all that we can think of. But we are getting the error message as follows

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Unknown basicRhoThermo type hRhoThermo<pureMixture<constTransport<specieThermo <hConstThermo<incompressible>>>>>
Valid basicRhoThermo types are:
6
(
hRhoThermo<pureMixture<constTransport<specieThermo <hConstThermo<perfectGas>>>>>
hRhoThermo<pureMixture<sutherlandTransport<specieT hermo<hConstThermo<perfectGas>>>>>
hRhoThermo<pureMixture<sutherlandTransport<specieT hermo<janafThermo<perfectGas>>>>>
hsRhoThermo<pureMixture<constTransport<specieTherm o<hConstThermo<perfectGas>>>>>
hsRhoThermo<pureMixture<sutherlandTransport<specie Thermo<hConstThermo<perfectGas>>>>>
hsRhoThermo<pureMixture<sutherlandTransport<specie Thermo<janafThermo<perfectGas>>>>>
)

i donot know what to do more. I cannot figure out what the error message is saying.
Perfect gas?? we are using a case for incompressible fluid flow, so why perfect gas?

Please advice us on the matter and help us out.

Thanks,
Warm regards,
Karthk

did you try a "git pull" for the newest versions?

git is a version control system.
i´ve had a similar error and solved it by a "git pull"...
you might wan´t to check here http://ww3.cad.de/foren/ubb/Forum527...5.shtml#000023 too...
