I think the solution in a general c++ code using MPI would be to add a line like:
MPI_BARRIER(MPI_COMM_WORLD)

This will no improve the initial convergence, since the solver will stop when the relTol is 0.05. thus it will not run until 1E-12 but stop at 0.05. And pressure equation will be not converged smoothly, I guess. What are your experience on the subject? What do you mean with not efficient?

Somewhere else it has been suggested to use pressure

In a nutshell, you mesh your volume with a suitable algorithm (tets or hexa i,j,k) and viscous layers are added as an "additional hypothesis" in the 3D algorithm settings. In there, you have the option of excluding some faces in your geometry, like inlet, outlet, but also areas where you don't care as much about flow modeling like in some multiphase flow computations.

I will write out a variable of my own turb. model,
but its doesn't work.
First of all I define a ScalarField in my Header,

volScalarField hybrid_;

for the next step I edit the code file with a new Object

hybrid_
(
IOobject
(
"hybrid_",
runTime_.timeName(),

Ok I know it is anyway no real turbulent inlet because there is no turbulence strcuture etc.

Additionally, I was wondering what I have to set for k and epsilon at this turbulent boundary
