rhocentralFoam error while modelling hypersonic flow

Hello all,
I'm a newcomer to OpenFOAM and am trying to model a hypersonic calibration model using rhoCentralFoam. After completing the Wedge15Ma5 and motorBike tutorials, I successfully created a mesh of my geometry using snappyHexMesh. The problem I'm having is that whenever I run the case and post-process it, the results (velocity, temperature and pressure) are all completely uniform. checkMesh returns no errors, and I've used a very small time step (0.001). Also, the mean and maximum Courant numbers remain constant between iterations, and the residuals prefixed with 'rho' are perpetually 0. The freestream boundary conditions I've tried to code are: Mach number = 17.8 Pressure = 29.5 Pa Temperature = 287K I've pasted in the Ma, p, U, T and blockMeshDict files below. Are there any errors that are immediately obvious? I'm sure it'll be something basic that I'm missing. Many thanks, Nathan Code:
