Hello everyone,
i'm using OpenFOAM for an incompressible simulation of an external aerodynamic combined with the study of the intake system of a motorbike's fairing.
I'm using PISO algorithm and i want to impose a BC of pressure outlet on a patch at the end of a channel connected to the fairing.
I've used:
p
outlet1
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform 160.701;
}

U
outlet1
{
type inletOutlet;
inletValue uniform (0 0 0);
value $internalField;
}

With these BC i've got divergence problem after 400 iteration, anyone can suggest any BC to impose?

Thanks in advance.

You should also use inletOutlet for the pressure if you are using it for the velocity

I've imposted that BC, but it still got has divergence problem.

outlet1
p
{
type inletOutlet;
inletValue uniform -160.701;
value uniform -160.701;
}
outlet1
U
{
type inletOutlet;
inletValue uniform (0 0 0);
value $internalField;
}

Are you sure of the inletValue of U?

What i want to do is to set on that patch the pressure, a value that i know, and when the simulation is converging extract the volumetric flow rate.

I'm using a K-omega SST turbolence model, I've seen that the residual that firstly diverge is the k. I report tha BC that i've used for outlet1 for k, omega and nut.

outlet1
k
{
type inletOutlet;
inletValue $internalField;
value $internalField;
}

outlet1
nut
{
type calculated;
value uniform 0;
}

outlet1
omega
{
type inletOutlet;
inletValue $internalField;
value $internalField;
}

Thanks in advance!
