Supersale is on a distinguished road
Hi all!

i am simulating a continuous ink-jet in OpenFOAM 2.1.1 using compressibleInterFoam

The geometry is basically a cilinder filled with ink that converges into a small nozzle and then exits into the atmosphere. The inlet is defined as a complex harmonical function of the pressure which in the first few time steps gradually increases from 0 to the required harmonical function (if the first time step is more than zero, the velocity experiences a sharp jump at the beginning).

The issue i am currently dealing with is that the velocity, which is induced by the pressure difference, seems to have some noice at the first time steps. later the graph becomes smooth and stable but for these first few time steps some areas with spikes can be seen. Did any of you experience something similar? Do you know where the problem might be?

I am using slightly modified files from the compressibleInterFoam tutorial cases:

i can not use an upwind scheme as this gives me constant noise. it needs to be second order.



Anyway, thanks for the help!
