If the longer simulation runs OK then it is likely to be something wrong with your setup of the shorter one. If you also changed the inlet BC type between runs then that is likely to be the problem.

Why didn't you say that before? So it is more likely then you have a setup problem with this simulation but not the other.

Do you want it to run or not? Up to you.

You will probably be able to use some small timesteps to start it off and increase them from there. Adaptive time steps (adapting to 3-5 coeff loops per...
