Problem of mappedPatch type

Dear OFers,
I am working on the subject of periodic flows in a pipe. I set the inlet boundary type "mappedPatch" and outlet "patch". It works when the gridding is excessive, but if I reduce number of gridding, errors appear as follows.
I don't know where is the mistake.Oh,really hope you can bail me out!
Thanks!

Codes:
Create time

Create mesh for time = 0

Reading field p

Reading field U

Reading/calculating face flux field phi

Selecting incompressible transport model Newtonian
Selecting RAS turbulence model laminar
No finite volume options present

SIMPLE: convergence criteria
field p tolerance 0.01
field U tolerance 0.001

Starting time loop

Time = 0.001

We are on the same boat... let's start fishing then!

Hi,

I guess I have a similar error output, I am working with chtMultiRegionFoam solver on coupled solid elements. I am not experienced in OF so I will not be too helpful, but hopefully sharing info could enlighten you or someone else.

What do you mean by gridding? Mesh fineness?

Anyway this is the log output:

A few things I noticed on my case:

- I have this error output if I run it in parallel only.

-On a single processor it runs without crashing but the heat-flux calculated with snGrad() on one side of a coupled patch is not consistent with the opposite neither in magnitude nor in sign. In the same case there are other coupled patches which eventually tend to converge though...

-This happens only if I include one particular region on its coupled boundary, otherwise no issues with single or parallel run.

- I am not sure whether it could be mesh-dependent since I have tried several settings and geometries with no success. I must admit from checkMesh my mesh is quite bad though (8500 underDeterminedCells and 40 lowWeightFaces over 1M cells, only 300 underDeterminedCells come from that last region I want to add)

Have fun!

PS: maybe posting in the solving section could have been more appropriate than in the pre-processing one
