First remove empty patches (w1, w2, w4-w6), rename non-empty patches and edit their properties12.4: 3 ( inlet { type patch; nFaces 238; startFace 577776; } volute_wall { type mappedWall; sampleMode nearestPatchFace; sampleRegion solid; samplePatch stator_inner_wall; offsetMode uniform; offset (0 0 0); nFaces 57104; startFace 578014; } interface { type mappedPatch; sampleMode nearestPatchFace; sampleRegion rotor; samplePatch ring_0; offsetMode uniform; offset (0 0 0); nFaces 8902; startFace 635118; } ) Patch inlet is a standard type patch, fluid can flow through. Patch volute_wall is a wall of type mappedWall because heat transfer from fluid to solid is assumed. Patch interface is mappedPatch to be connected to rotor region of the model.
