Hi,

I am trying to solve a case with sonicFoam with time dependent BC (INLET ={p =45Mpa-->101325 Pa, U=1000-->0 and T 2000k-->300K} and outlet = zerogradient for all fields).

After some iterations i got this error message:

Maximum number of iterations exceeded#0 Foam::error:rintStack(Foam::Ostream&) in "/home/moumen/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/lib/linux64GccDPOpt/libOpenFOAM.so"

FOAM aborting

Aborted

Has anyone experienced an error like the above? Any suggestions on what it might be?

Any help will be appreciated

Best regards.

Hi,

this problem is quite common. Have a look through the forum.

The problem is most probably related to pressure field. Have a look at it at a time step before the error occurs. I guess you have negative pressures, so the thermophysical library crashes.

Christian

thanks for your response,

If so how can i fix that!

Hi have solved the problem by changing the controlDict file:

writeControl adjustableRunTime;

and

adjustTimeStep yes;

Hope this help
