Now my case is running with a modified simplefoam/cyclic solver from here. The problem is now that i dont get the expected values like in Fluent. My pressure gradient is not the same and i dont know if i specified my mass flow rate with "Ubar" correctly. My inlet velocity is (12 0 0) m/s and my mass flow rate 0.07865 kg/s. All other initial values are specified under 0/include/initialConditions. I've uploaded my case with the appropriate BC. You have to use the solver that is also attached in this thread. Just "make" the solver, i have already changed all neccessary files. ribbed.zip simpleFoamCyclic.zip Regards, Phil
