Summary0000316: alphaSgsWallFunction no longer valid for alphaSgs
DescriptionI updated my version of 2.0.x to the latest git release today (18/10/11) and I am no longer able to use alphaSgsWallFunction as a boundary condition for alphaSgs.

So far I have had this issue with rhoPimpleFoam and mapFields.

Same cases worked fine before todays update.

I cannot reproduce with OpenFOAM 2.0.x.

I changed "zeroGradient" to

lowerWall
{
  type alphaSgsWallFunction;
  value 1.0e-5; // A value I picked randomly
}

in the pitzDaily case, and rhoPimpleFoam works just fine.

This is strange.

I guess i will have to try a clean install and report back asap.

After a fresh install of openfoam-2.0.x via git the problem persists.

This definateley seems to be a problem with the latest release.

What strikes me as strange is that although the patch in question is of type "wall", the suggested patchField types seem to be for inlets and outlets.

I also downloaded todays (19/10/11) update via git, but htere was no change. I still cannot use alphaSgsWallFunction.

Interesting. I have the latest git release too (I did not try a fresh install). Do you have compilation errors in some part of the build process? Did you try to reproduce the problem using the tutorial?

I checked the log files and there were no errors during compilation.

I then tried the rhoPimpleFoam LES tutorial and it gets even stranger (note once again this is a fresh install with no errors on a system that ran OF 2.0.x perfectly before 18/10/11):

I read in the changelog on gitk that the default gcc version was recently changed to 4.6.1 which is exactly the version installed on my system. I was using 4.6.1 without problems before, but it may have something to do with this update...

Using 4.5.1 on openSUSE 64 bit here without issues. I cannot comment on gcc 4.6.1 since I haven't tried it yet.

I believe the cause is described in detail here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ChangeInImplicitDSOLinking

The page is Fedora-specific, but the problem is universal.

Yea looks like you are right. Cheers.

I guess I'm downgrading to gcc-4.5 for the time being

updater   ~0000740

When this problem started to happen with Fedora, an update was done to OpenFOAM's build rules, as seen in Issue 15: http://www.openfoam.com/mantisbt/view.php?id=15

But things now have gotten "worse", as shown here: http://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking
Additionally, when Binutils went up from 2.20 to 2.21, deprecated the "--add-needed" option, as shown here: http://sourceware.org/binutils/docs-2.21/ld/Options.html

I tried to make a quick fix by changing in linux*Gcc/{c,c++}:
     -Xlinker --add-needed
to:
     -Xlinker --no-as-needed -Xlinker --copy-dt-needed-entries -Xlinker --add-needed

This seemed to fix linking issues but not all of them, as well as probably making a lot of the library links "clunkier"; but I don't have any benchmark/comparison to prove said "clunkiness", only an inference from the Debian article above.

Sooo... this could mean that OpenFOAM will have to start declaring more explicitly to "whom" applications are meant to link to ;)

There's only about 15 Make/options files that need to change. These have been done already by the user community. See this thread: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam-installation/93405-openfoam-2-0-x-ubuntu-11-10-a.html

I followed those instructions, once by hand and another time using the fix uploaded to git and did not notice any change. I still get the same errors as before.

Could it be because i did a fresh install of Ubuntu instead of upgrading from 11.04?

Commit 07bf5ccf2f037a03eb310fa19a3e8d0e85b889d9

I've changed the link lines to

LINKLIBSO = $(CC) $(c++FLAGS) -shared -Xlinker --add-needed -Xlinker --no-as-needed
LINKEXE = $(CC) $(c++FLAGS) -Xlinker --add-needed -Xlinker --no-as-needed
                                                                                  
in architectures linuxGcc, linuxGcc45, linuxGcc46 and their 64bit versions and this solves the 11.10 problem. I checked on ubuntu10.04 (the oldest system I have) and it does not know the dt-copy-neededxxx so I've used the old form --add-needed.

Please let me know if there are any problems with this.

Thanks for reporting
