Hi Oliviu, Looks like there is something wrong in the session configuration for the cases you are running. There should be a check which tells you exactly what but it is clearly not working! Test_IsentropicVortex1.xml Has not been touched in 4+ years and isn’t part of the test suite so chances are something in the file has become out of date. I will see if I can replicate your error and back-trace it when I get a chance. In the mean time it might be better for you to build your session from one of the working tests, for example solvers/CompressibleFlowSolver/Tests/Euler1D.xml Is a simple case which passes the test suite so should give you a good place to start. There are loads more xml sessions in that directory which (in theory) all currently work.

First, some background: - code build was complete without any issues, with all dependencies pre-installed system-wide, and without any problems in linking to these libraries - ran all regression tests, all successful - ran the Incompressible NS Solver, both serial and parallel without issues - ran the ADR Solver without issues The code was compiled and ran on a personal workstation, with Ubuntu 16.04 as the Linux distribution. I am not an advanced Linux user, having started to work in it only recently, and thus identifying the exact issue is not possible for me at this stage. The compressible flow solver always fails, even for the isentropic vortex case provided as example with the distribution. When running in serial, the error is: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [salv08976-ub:03370] *** Process received signal *** [salv08976-ub:03370] Signal: Segmentation fault (11) [salv08976-ub:03370] Signal code: Address not mapped (1) [salv08976-ub:03370] Failing at address: 0x1573bc50 [salv08976-ub:03370] [ 0] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x354b0)[0x7fb38f0b04b0] [salv08976-ub:03370] [ 1] /home/local/ISDADS/sgs475/Nektar++/nektar++-4.4.1/build/dist/lib64/nektar++-4.4.1/libLibUtilities.so.4.4.1(_ZN6Nektar12LibUtilities27AnalyticExpressionEvaluator8StorePrm8run_onceEv+0xb)[0x7fb39087b39b] [salv08976-ub:03370] [ 2] /home/local/ISDADS/sgs475/Nektar++/nektar++-4.4.1/build/dist/lib64/nektar++-4.4.1/libLibUtilities.so.4.4.1(_ZN6Nektar12LibUtilities27AnalyticExpressionEvaluator8EvaluateEi+0x6e)[0x7fb39087514e] [salv08976-ub:03370] [ 3] /home/local/ISDADS/sgs475/Nektar++/nektar++-4.4.1/build/dist/lib64/nektar++-4.4.1/libSolverUtils.so.4.4.1(_ZNK6Nektar12LibUtilities8Equation8EvaluateEv+0x38)[0x7fb391cc8508] [salv08976-ub:03370] [ 4] /home/local/ISDADS/sgs475/Nektar++/nektar++-4.4.1/build/dist/lib64/nektar++-4.4.1/libLibUtilities.so.4.4.1(_ZN6Nektar12LibUtilities13SessionReader14ReadParametersEP12TiXmlElement+0x26d)[0x7fb3907bacbd] [salv08976-ub:03370] [ 5] /home/local/ISDADS/sgs475/Nektar++/nektar++-4.4.1/build/dist/lib64/nektar++-4.4.1/libLibUtilities.so.4.4.1(_ZN6Nektar12LibUtilities13SessionReader13ParseDocumentEv+0x92)[0x7fb3907c2612] [salv08976-ub:03370] [ 6] /home/local/ISDADS/sgs475/Nektar++/nektar++-4.4.1/build/dist/lib64/nektar++-4.4.1/libLibUtilities.so.4.4.1(_ZN6Nektar12LibUtilities13SessionReader11InitSessionEv+0x4f)[0x7fb3907c6aff] [salv08976-ub:03370] [ 7] ./CompressibleFlowSolver(_ZN6Nektar12LibUtilities13SessionReader14CreateInstanceEiPPc+0x16d)[0x48ef6d] [salv08976-ub:03370] [ 8] ./CompressibleFlowSolver(main+0x62)[0x454b52] [salv08976-ub:03370] [ 9] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf0)[0x7fb38f09b830] [salv08976-ub:03370] [10] ./CompressibleFlowSolver(_start+0x29)[0x463219] [salv08976-ub:03370] *** End of error message *** Segmentation fault (core dumped) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When running in parallel the error is: The error message is pretty mush the same, only repeated a number of times equal to the number of processing cores, plus the following message at the end: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- mpirun noticed that process rank 3 with PID 13368 on node salv08976-ub exited on signal 11 (Segmentation fault). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any guidance with this issue would be much appreciated.
