Summary0000522: Dimensions of the rho-field not concidered in MULES
Descriptionwhen volScalarField is used for rho in MULES::implicitSolve, dimensions mismatch error occurs at lines 146-148 in MULESTemplates.C while calculating tmp<surfaceScalarField> Cof.
Steps To ReproduceMULES::implicitSolve(rho1, alpha1, rhoPhi, rhoPhi1, alpha1Sp, alpha1Su, 1, 0);
Additional InformationFor a particular case, I could get rid of the error by Cof division by the dimension of rho:

const dimensionedScalar dimRho("dimRho", rho.dimensions(), 1.0);
        
tmp<surfaceScalarField> Cof =
        mesh.time().deltaT()*mesh.surfaceInterpolation::deltaCoeffs()
       *mag(phi)/mesh.magSf()/dimRho;

But in this case the incompressible way of using MULES doesn't work:
MULES::implicitSolve(geometricOneField(), alpha1, phi, phiAlpha, alpha1Sp, alpha1Su, 1, 0);
because of the error: ‘const class Foam::geometricOneField’ has no member named ‘dimensions’.

So for now I don't know how to combine the both ways to use MULES in one solver.

The problem is that Cof has the same dimensions as rho, and CoLambda (line 167 in MULESTemplates.C) is dimless. Unfortunately I don't know the meaning of Cof, so I can't say what exactly is wrong in its calculation.

The only clear thing is that Cof has also to be dimless. Possible solution could be extension of the class geometricOneField by adding geometricOneField.dimensions() and subsequent division of Cof by rho.dimensions(). Or may be a reformulation of Cof is needed, I don't know.

Thanks for the bug report.

I have added a bit of templating gymnastics to handle density differently depending on the type so that phi is now scaled by rho if required.
