Hello, I'm trying to run the flow simulation from this tutorial http://spoken-tutorial.org/watch/Ope...nFOAM/English/, but I can't set the boundary conditions (U and p).

There is the code (the same for velocity and pressure):

Code:
17  dimensions      [0 2 -2 0 0 0 0]; 
18   
19  internalField   uniform 0; 
20   
21  boundaryField 
22  { 
23      inlet
24      { 
25          ????            ??????????; 
26      } 
27   
28      outlet
29      { 
30          ????            ???????????; 
31      } 
32   
33      walls
34      { 
35          ????            ?????; 
36      } 
37  } 
38

This is for a study project.

hello,

you may try this combination for p and U

It's not working. The icoFoam solver has an error: Cannot find patchField entry for outlet.
On previous p and U settings it's work, but when I run the visualization in ParaView nothing happens.
This are the configurations codes for p and U on which icoFoam runs without an error.
Code:
