Default Transient simulation (Problem with massflow and Pressure)

Hello everybody,

i am simulating a rotary piston engine. The Simulation is working but the problem is the following:

At the beginning the pressure inside of the cylinder is 0 bar (reference pressure is 1 bar). At the inlet the pressure is 3 bar. While the piston is moving, air is flowing from the intlet in the cylinder and the pressure rises. When the pressure in the cylinder is reaching the 3 bars (The maximum pressure) the pressure an massflow increase from the inlet into the cylinder should go down, but i am reaching even 3.5 bars until the massflow goes down. As you can see in the diagram the pressure for a certain time step is not changing anymore after some iteration steps. So i am only reaching the 3 bars after some timesteps (which is of course different to the reality). In a steady state analysis for a certain Piston positon i am reaching the 3 bars after about 30 iteration steps.
So what do i have to do to get the simulation closer to the reality?

Thanks.

How big is the time step used and how did you set up your inlet boundary(pressure and mass flow)?

Inlet: -Total Pressure (3 bar)
- Total Temp 25C°
Timestep: -1/60000 s (1.666e-5 s)
-> Engine is rotating with 10000 rpm so in one timestep the
piston is moving 1°

You would need to include more details if you want us to be more specific.
