Dear All

I am using OpenFOAM 1.5-dev and my case is of turbo machinery and using MRFSimpleFoam solver.I have given following BC
Inlet

Code:
U            flowRateInletVelocity
P             zeroGradient
k             fixedValue;
              value  uniform 1.057;
epsilon     fixedValue;
              uniform 11290;
Outlet

Code:
U            zeroGradient;
P             fixedMean
k             zeroGradient;;
epsilon     fzeroGradient;

I am facing the problem of convergence of solver.I am attaching the residual plots and log file.I have done number of changes in it but didn't get the convergence.Will anybody help me.

I am waiting.Thanks In Advance.

Try to use inletOutlet boundary condition for velocity outlet instead zeroGradient
