Hello, I'm new to OpenFoam and trying to solve the flow over a flat plate for already more than a week...

I want to calculate the compressible flow over a zero pressure gradient heated flat plate. I'm using the rhoCentralFoam solver and my boundary conditions are:

velocity: fixed at inlet, no slip at wall, zero gradient for farfield and outlet
pressure: fixed at inlet and outlet, zero gradient for farfield
temperature: fixed at wall, fixed at farfield, zero gradient at inlet and outlet

If I solve the problem without the heating of the flat plate I get a reasonable result for the hydrodynamic boundary layer. However, when I increase the plate temperature the results for the hydrodynamic BL are messed up and the temperature BL looks reasonable instead...

Since flat plate flow is a standard problem I guess someone of you can help me

Cheers!
