Summary0003466: Error using rhoCentralFoam's BC maxwellSlipU parallel
DescriptionHello,

I noticed a problem concerning rhoCentralFoam's boundary condition maxwellSlipU. The boundary condition contains 3 vector fields, Uwall, value and refValue. When running a case parallel and reconstructing the case, it can occur, that these vector fields aren't reconstructed as vector fields, but as scalar fields containing numeric limits values. Without parallelization this issue doesn't occur.
The results can be viewed in paraView without errors, but if one wants to simulate further steps from this reconstructed state the following error message occurs:

Steps To ReproduceUse the attached test case with following commands

blockMesh
decomposePar
mpirun -np 4 rhoCentralFoam -parallel
reconstructPar

Check the vectorFields Uwall and refValue in boundary upperWall at time step 1e-6 of the U field. These are now described as nonuniform List<scalar> instead of nonuniform List<vector>.
I think it is because processor0 does not contain any part of this boundary.

Change endTime in the controlDict to 2e-6 and rerun the simulation to get the above mentioned error message.
Additional InformationOne can fix it by hand, with the correct values, but this can be a very annoying task especially when you have several million cells and many simulations.

Cheers,
Heiko

This should be resolved in OpenFOAM-dev by commit 220507b4f5b54220d12054606ac24079f8627975
