Hi, just remove the space from the name of the folder. OpenFoam and phasicFlow do not accept space in file and folder names.

MPI_ABORT was invoked on rank 0 in communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD
with errorcode 0.

NOTE: invoking MPI_ABORT causes Open MPI to kill all MPI processes.
You may or may not see output from other processes, depending on
exactly when Open MPI kills them.

You need to update the code and recompile it (your code is out-dated). If possible, wait for a few days. We are updating turbulence models and making some minor changes to the code. We will sync all the tutorials accordingly.

We have updated the turbulence model and changed the tutorials accordingly. Now, download the newest version of the code, and compile it.
