Dear foamers,

the only thing remaining in my university term project, is to get get my water-air simulation from solver interFoam to the compressibleInterFoam. I have searched for info on how to use the compressible solver, but nothing of any use exists. My main problem is that setting the pressure pMin to a fixed value, the internal pressure fluctuates constantly/periodically - and in turn so does the velocity field. Does anybody have any hints at all to what to set pMin to, to get a stable simulation going? And what is the purpose of this pMin in the first place?

Thank you.
