| Summary | 0000739: h0 file in tutorial squareBump is in the wrong folder | ||||
| Description | In the tutorial squareBump ($FOAM_TUTORIALS/incompressible/shallowWaterFoam/squareBump) the file for the initial field h0 is in the wrong folder. Should be moved from folder 'constant' to folder '0'. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

Why? |
|
|
The case does not run properly when the h0 file is in the constant folder. It is needed as an initial field for shallowWaterFoam. Not sure what values are used for h0 when it is not stored in the '0' folder, but the results do not become what they should. This is also noted in the following tutorial at page 5: www.tfd.chalmers.se/~hani/kurser/OS_CFD_2010/johanPilqvist/johanPilqvistReport.pdf |

It is an initial field but also a constant field hence it is in the constant directory. The case runs propersy for me with h0 being in the constant directory. |
|
|
I have looked a bit more into this and I still think h0 should be moved to the 0/ folder. When running setFields before running the case it fails if the h0 file is in the constant folder, but not when it is in the 0/ folder. This happens because the field cannot be initialized from the setFieldsDict file. The error arises in line 19 in that file: volScalarFieldValue h0 0 |
|
|
h0 is a constant field and SHOULD be in the "constant" directory. When I wrote the code to create the fields in shallowWaterFoam I specifically select the directory in which the mesh directory resides for h0 because it is effectively geometry: volScalarField h0 ( IOobject ( "h0", runTime.findInstance("polyMesh", "points"), mesh, IOobject::READ_IF_PRESENT ), mesh, dimensionedScalar("h0", dimLength, 0.0) ); If you really want h0 to be in the 0 directory despite the fact that it is time-invariant you will need to change the above code. To avoid further confusion I have removed the setFieldsDict file which is not used. |
