IO error with vibrationalEnergy

[onurpaca]

Dear Vincent,

When I turn on all the fields in constant/hTCProperties in mixtureOutputs section I get the following error while reconstructPar in parallel and foamToVTK in serial:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 

Cannot find 'value' entry on patch outlet of field e in file "/home/opaca/hy2Foam_tutorial_run/hyStrath/rotorbit_tutorials/wedge_ver6/1.2000000000e-08/e"
which is required to set the values of the generic patch field.
(Actual type gradient2Energy)

Please add the 'value' entry to the write function of the user-defined boundary-condition
file: /home/opaca/hy2Foam_tutorial_run/hyStrath/rotorbit_tutorials/wedge_ver6/1.2000000000e-08/e.boundaryField.outlet from line 8557 to line 8558.

From function genericFvPatchField<Type>::genericFvPatchField(const fvPatch&, const Field<Type>&, const dictionary&)
in file genericFvPatchField/genericFvPatchField.C at line 71.
FOAM exiting

The reason I want to accomplish this is to map the solution from a coarse mesh to a finer mesh as initial condition, but to do this I need the Tv field in the solution file. So, I'm planning to use the e and zeta fields to get Tv. Do you have any recommendation to resolve this?

Thanks,
Onur

P.S This is a case that I generated based on the cylinderReactingMach20 case.

Hi Onur,

I remember seeing this error before. The reconstructPar utility does not cope well the hard-coded (present in the src/ folder rather than the solver folder) boundary conditions for energy. I didn't try to solve the issue. After I have had a look at the decomposed energy fields, I deleted them and reconstructed the case.

There is one thing I don't understand. Why would you need energy and zeta to construct the Tv field. There should be a way to get Tv printed directly.

If you have one molecule in your flow, then you could duplicate Tv mol into Tv.
If you have two or more, then you should deactivate the hyLight switch.

Thanks,

Vincent

Hi Vincent,

Thanks for the very quick response. After I made the necessary changes to tthermophysicalProperties, I was able to get the Tv fields I needed. Everything works properly right now.

Thanks,

Onur
