Hi,

I am trying to simulate a case in which a tube with one inlet bifurcates in two outlets. I ran the case with simpleFoam solver by fixing volume flow rate at all outlets(because that is the condition to be satisfied) and got following errors:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Continuity error cannot be removed by adjusting the outflow.
Please check the velocity boundary conditions and/or run potentialFoam to initialise the outflow.
Total flux : 0.000719163
Specified mass inflow : 0.000400984
Specified mass outflow : 0.000400984
Adjustable mass outflow : 0


From function adjustPhi(surfaceScalarField& phi, const volVectorField& U,const volScalarField& p
in file cfdTools/general/adjustPhi/adjustPhi.C at line 118.

FOAM exiting


I ran potentialFoam and used the generated velocity field to run simulation and again encountered same error.

I don't understand when inflow rate is equal to outflow rate then why OpenFoam is giving continuity errors. Any suggestions on solving this problem?

Thanks,
Mayank
