zonda is on a distinguished road
Good morning to all of you
Right now i'm working on a simulation involving the valuation of an air flux inside a combustion chamber (no combustion, only air flux) with rhoSimpleFoam.
You can see the geometry i'm working on in the picture below:

Where is the problem? It doesn't matter how i set the inputs (U, p, T and the relative k, epsilon and nut evaluated with the formulas found on this site), there will always be a divergence in pressure inside the swirlers. Openfoam returns a "floating point exception" error and when i visualize the last 2-3 timesteps before the crash on paraview it appears always like this:

If it can help, i don't have to work with a given air mass flux, i just need a stable situation after a large number of time step, but however, the higher the mass flux, the better.

Here i'm attaching the U, p, T, k, epsilon, nut and the controlDict files:

Any suggestion on how to solve this problem?
Of course, let me know if you need more file or info and i will provide them.
Thanks in advance for the attention

Hi there,

It would be good if you could also provide the content of fvSolution and fvSchemes. I suppose based on the nature of your problem you need to perform unsteady simulations. But what I cannot see is a proper deltaT in your controlDict file. Also there is no control over the Courant number. Is your mesh big enough to compensate for a reasonable Courant number with your current time step?
One more important thing is that since your geometry is a bit complex, proper meshing also plays an important role here. Maybe it's also good that you provide us the result of either checkMesh or checkMesh -allTopology -allGeometry.
I'm afraid more support will be provided once your case information is given in detail.

Hope this helps.

Ok, first of all, thank you einstein_zee for your answer
Right now i'm running a steady simulation because, being an absolute beginner in openFoam (this is my first project), i received the instruction to run a steady one to start and then, with the obtained results, i will initialize the unsteady one (with rhoPimpeFoam).
Howevere, here are the files you asked for:

okay, one thing I noticed from your pics is that the geometries are different isn't it? Since in the picture where you made a cut there is a smaller diameter channel in the middle.

But anyways, one thing to mention is that you may change the BC for "outlet_union" in U and p and use pressureInletOutletVelocity and totalPressure respectively. And try to remove any complexity! you don't have to model turbulence in your first simulation. So instead use laminar in your turbulenceProperties file. Also you can initialize your internal temperature field with 500 and for all boundaries define zeroGradient.
You may try to test PCG for pressure equation and see its performance also. Also play with your tolerances! you may reduce it from e-08 to lower orders of magnitude (say e-04).

These are general guidelines at least for now I can suggest. But you can also compress everything and put your case here so that somebody may take a look and solve the issue for you . Finally to make your query more complete, you may also provide a figure with your residuals.

hope this helps...

Ok, according to your suggestions i have modified my case, but now all i get is this error:

Code:
--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
Attempt to return dictionary entry as a primitive

file: /utenti/simulation/OpenFOAM/simulation-3.0.1/run/cases/AeroSpaceProp/GreenEngine/francesco/ge_rhoSimpleFoam_Q25/constant/thermophysicalProperties::thermoType from line 20 to line 26.

    From function ITstream& primitiveEntry::stream() const
    in file db/dictionary/dictionaryEntry/dictionaryEntry.C at line 82.

FOAM aborting
For what i have understood, it's related to an error in the sintax of some file (in this case probably the thermoPhisicalProperties that i didn't even touched) but i'm not completely sure.

However here is the case :
https://app.box.com/s/0iyi5kb0ckeleq1cu2hpylv0vn4fsoeg
Hope is the correct way to post a case, otherwise let me know
Thank you for your help
