Hi.. Foamers

I have applied a time varying inlet velocity condition for a circular cylinder in 2D. However, there was a problem on it while was being simulated in parallel.

I used the inlet velocity so that it can change momently from 5 m/s to 10 m/s like a step function at time T=1.5 or 2.0.
When I used it at T=0.5 or 1.0, any other time <= 1.0, there was no problem.
However, when I used that time varying condition at T=1.5 or 2.0, any other time >= 1.5, there existed a problem and the simulation was broken out.
You can see my time varying inlet velocity condition and the errors concerning it as below.

I will appreciate it if you had a similar experience and could help me.

Thanks.

Inlet condition:

boundaryField
{
inlet
{
type uniformFixedValue;


uniformValue table
(
( 0 (5.0 0.0 0.0) )
( 1.999999 (5.0 0 0) )
( 2.0 (10.0 0.0 0.0) )

);
}

Error:

Create time

Create mesh for time = 0

Why not using groovyBC? It's quite useful to deal with this kind of boundary conditions

Have a look at: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Contrib/groovyBC
