Dear all,

I am trying to embed the explicitSetValue feature (see here) in the chtMultiRegionFoam solver.

I succeded in doing this for the buoyantSimpleFoam solver (attached you can find the file), but I am finding it very difficult to do the same for the unsteady solvers (both buoyantPimpleFoam and chtMultiRegionFoam).

Now I am working on the latter (i.e. chtMultiRegionFoam) and I am asking for help.

Could anyone give me any hints?

Thanks a lot,

Samuele

PS: when I try to compile my new solver chtMultiRegionFoam_Epta I got this error message:

Not sure how much I can help. Looks to be complaining about the way you have called:

IObasicSourceList sources(fluidRegions);

in createFluidFields.H and does not seem to take a pointer list as an argument. It appears the only candidate argument is a single mesh instance. Perhaps you need to call this within the loop for the individual mesh regions? Not sure what will happen if this is called multiple times. You might take a look at IObasicSourceList.H and see if you can figure out how it will behave in that case.

Dear Kent,

thanks for help.

Actually, if I do as you suggested, I get this:

That's very strange, since the sources is defined in the createFluidFields.H file.

Any other idea?
