Summary0000045: bubbleFoam - phiaPtr and phibPtr not deleted
DescriptionphiaPtr and phibPtr in createPhia.H and createPhib.H are not deleted after use.

Suggest maybe:

surfaceScalarField phib = *phibPtr;
delete phibPtr;

instead of

surfaceScalarField& phib = *phibPtr;

The storage for these fields is deleted at the end of the run along with all other storage allocated during the run.

What is the advantage of the additional complexity and copies of your proposal?

None. It's stupid to make a copy.

It would still be good to delete them just before the program exits. I have a solver derived from it and had a (real) memory leak. The warnings about the phiPtr objects confused me at first.

If I called bubbleFoam using system() from another application, the memory would not be freed when bubbleFoam exits would it? I'm not saying I would do that with bubbleFoam...

Fair comment.

It should.

Anyway, I will consider a cleaner option for this kind of initialization.
