I am also trying to install sowfa in a Linux cluster (Stampede/ TACC). I am using Openfoam 2.2 and the latest SOWFA from github. After running ./Allwclean and the ./Allmake the following error pops out.

pEqn.H(24): error #140: too many arguments in function call
I am trying to install SOWFA in my laptop(Ubuntu 14.04, OpenFOAM 240).
The downloaded “NREL-SOWFA-dec561a.zip” file was extracted and put under the OF240 directory.
But simply running ./Allwmake does not work.
So I followed the commonld in Allwmake step by step.
The first tens of lines worked.
But the “wmake” in “applications/solvers/incompressible/windEnergy/ABLSolver” part failed.
The message shows “fatal error: XXXXXXX.H: No such file or directory”
so I located the XXXXXX.H file and linked it to this directory and do “wmake” again.
This process repeated many times and then some files “AMIInterpolation*.H” were missing
and I do NOT have these files in my computer.
So I googled the file names and found them in github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.x/tree/master/src/meshTools/AMIInterpolation/AMIInterpolation
These 6 files were downloaded and linked to this directory.
And the ‘locate-and-link’ process repeated several times.
Then the error message was different. It read:

I got stuck here.
Is it because the AMI*.C/H files from OF22x are not compatiable with my current OF240?
Do I have to go back to OF22X to make it work?
Thanks for any help!
Hi, Danny
I downloaded the “SOWFA-master.zip” from the link in your post and the fastDust tutorial worked, thanks a lot for shearing!
Did you by any chance compile the other solver in the file and does it work?
I tried but got similar error as shown in the above post.
I tried contacting some people at NREL and didn’t get a response. Quite disappointing that 3 people are reporting the same problem with no resolution from the programmers. I would really like to use this program. It’s looking like a dream at this point though.
Sorry you haven’t received any response to your questions. If it helps, I can tell you the SOWFA team is working to update their code to use FAST v8 and OpenFOAM without modifications, which will hopefully resolve most of the install/compiling issues specific to SOWFA. I don’t know exactly when they are planning to release it, but hopefully in the next month or two.
I am struggling to install SOWFA on Ubuntu 14.04 with OpenFOAM 2.3.1. Running Allwmake gives errors which appear from the WindPlantSolver part that seems to be earlier in the script than most of you.

I would really appreciate if someone has any tips to understand the source of the errors and come up with the problem.
Bonnie, would you know if the new version is about to be released ?
Unfortunately, I have not heard when the SOWFA team plans to release any new code. Funding in the new fiscal year is tight, and they told me they wanted to unify some of the different versions before releasing something. I would guess it will be several months, yet.
I am trying to install SOWFA 2.0.x in a virtual machine (VMware Workstation 12). My version of OpenFoam is 3.0.x installed in geekoCFD (x86-64bit version 7.0.0). I followed README.SOWFA. When I did “Run ./Allwmake”. I see the compilation errors. It seems that there are some header files missed, like GenEddyVisc.H and LESModel.H.
I figure out that the update in OpenFoam 3.0.x for the turbulence model may cause the fall of compilation. OpenFoam 3.0.0 reorganizes the .H and .C files about the Turbulence Model. We cannot find the files named GenEddyVisc anymore.
I have no idea about what to do next. Should I return to OpenFoam 2.0.x or there are other solutions? Thank you.
I should also think sincerely M. Jonkman Bonnie accepted my request to activate account in Forum.
I am a SOWFA user (Ph.D Student in University of Wyoming). I am confusing about the “schemeBlending” section.
What does it do and why we need it in ABLTerrainSolver?
About the scheme blending question above, I have a problem when I try to run the ABLSolver (OpenFOAM 2.3.1 on Ubuntu 14.04). After creating the mesh, changing “buoyantPressure” for “fixedFluxPressure” in 0/p_rgh and setting initial field with setFieldsABL, I get the message:
[code]–> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
keyword faceSizeBlendingTable is undefined in dictionary “/home/holivares/OpenFOAM/holivares-2.3.1/run/tutorial_test2/generic.neutral/system/fvSchemes.schemeBlending”
file: /home/user/OpenFOAM/user-2.3.1/run/generic.neutral/system/fvSchemes.schemeBlending from line 76 to line 81.
From function dictionary::lookupEntry(const word&, bool, bool) const
in file db/dictionary/dictionary.C at line 437.
FOAM exiting[/code]
so there is a library definition for “faceSizeBlending” within fvSchemes that is missing. After looking at the syntax of the requested entry in SOWFA/applications/solvers/incompressible/windEnergy/ABLSolver/createDivSchemeBlendingField.H it seems that a matrix of 3X3 is needed. Moreover, it seems that a list for every cell is also required, which I supposed should be generated at preprocessing but I cannot exactly see which utility would that be (by looking at the runscript).
Was “SOWFA + Super Controller” (and the custom version of OpenFOAM that went with it) ever publicly released? If not, is there any way to get a copy of it?
I am new to OpenFOAM and just begin to use SOWFA. My version of OpenFoam is 2.3.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 and I downloaded the latest SOWFA from github. I have already run the precursor ABL case successfully, but I just don’t know how to save the precursor data as inflow boundary conditions which will be further used in the windPlant case. I have read about the former suggestion that something can be find in github.com/OffWind/offwind/tree … BL/neutral (like “makeBoundaryDataFiles.south.sh” and “makeBoundaryDataFiles.west.sh”), but I still failed to get any useful data. Following the instruction, nothing can be found in the boundaryData folder. Can anyone tell me how to run it correctly? Please give me more detailed instructions.
I am glad to hear that you managed to install SOWFA together with OF2.3 which is exactly what I am trying to do as well. I have managed to do the compilation after some addings mainly in the options files but am now running into problems during execution of the tutorial precursorABL. I have therefore a general question. Did you just compile the original downloaded version of SOWFA or did you update it first with any changes before compilation and if so with which ones?
I am trying to install OpenFOAM 2.0.1 on Ubuntu 14.04.5. I think I am almost done but came across this error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lfast
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
I guessed the error was due to a missing libfast.so. I searched all the source files and online but could not find it. Does anyone know how to find or generate this lib file or any steps I missed during the installation? Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.
