Regarding some issues in installation of SOWFA and running 1st tutorial #97

Hi,

I'm Dr. Ijaz Fazil from Singapore. Our team intends to conduct CFD assessments of wind turbine wake aerodynamics. Previously, we utilized ANSYS FLUENT; we now want to use SOWFA. We are familiar with OpenFOAM but not with SOWFA.

Based on https://github.com/pablo-benito/SOWFA-installation, we installed SOWFA.

In the final part under "Runtime configuration," it was said that we must export all libraries to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

When I run this comment “${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}”, I get this error “No such file or directory”

Also, when I try to run the example case “/example.ABL.flatTerrain.neutral”

I get this error

“./runscript.preprocess

./runscript.preprocess: line 79: /home/yusuffuzail/.bash_profile: No such file or directory

./runscript.preprocess: line 80: OpenFOAM-2.4.x: command not found

-Renumbering the mesh with renumberMesh...

-Decomposing the domain with decomposePar...

-Checking the mesh with checkMesh...”

Can anyone please help me in fixing this issue or troubleshoot this error?

Hi, It looks like the environment variables are not set correctly. You have to modify the .bash_profile file in the SOWFA directory properly and source it beforehand. Also, runscripts in the tutorials need some modification based on your OpenFOAM and SOWFA installation.
