| Summary | 0001039: point probe in libsample.so gives error when probe is close to tank wall. | ||||
| Description | The following sample dict file in sloshingtank2d, interdymFoam gives the following errors when the point probe is on the wall: /*--------------------------------*- C++ -*----------------------------------*\ | ========= | | | \\ / F ield | OpenFOAM: The Open Source CFD Toolbox | | \\ / O peration | Version: 2.1.1 | | \\ / A nd | Web: www.OpenFOAM.org | | \\/ M anipulation | | \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ FoamFile { version 2.0; format ascii; class dictionary; object probesDict; } // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // // Fields to be probed. runTime modifiable! // To run this file, type "probeLocations" in the solver directory fields ( p ); // Locations to be probed. runTime modifiable! probeLocations ( (0.0 0.5 -0.3) ); // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // Then error message is as follows: Time = 0.55 Time = 0.6 Time = 0.65 --> FOAM Warning : From function findElements::findElements(const fvMesh&) in file probes/probes.C at line 105 Did not find location (0 0.5 -0.3) in any cell. Skipping location. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | I have definied a tank 1m tall x1m wide and 0.1m deep. The tank is filled with water to depth of 0.5m. The origin is at the midpoint of the air-water interface. Therefore the leftwall of the tank is at -0.5 and the right wall is at +0.5. I have a probe at the left wall at 0.5, -0.3. In other words the probe is just against the wall at a depth of 0.3m from still water surface. When sampleDict is run, the above error appears several times. based on the referenced error message, it appears that the probe remains static and does not move with the mesh. As a result during certain time steps, the mesh is not at the probe location, hence libsampling.so assumes that the point is outside of the mesh. | ||||
| Additional Information | This error goes away if the probe location is at 0.45, -0.3. In other words the probe is placed 0.05m to the left of the right wall | ||||

If I'm not mistaken, this has been fixed in OpenFOAM 2.3: http://www.openfoam.org/version2.3.0/post-processing.php - and I quote: probes include appropriate treatment for moving mesh cases in which, by default, probes positions are fixed; for moving mesh cases, it can be useful to fix the probed cell instead by setting the optional fixedLocations entry to false. |

Looks like this was fixed in #1090: http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1090 |
