Hello all,

I'm new to OpenFOAM and I have run into a problem using the buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam solver. This is the error message that I receive:

--> 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 : 0.00108558
Specified mass inflow : 0.08
Specified mass outflow : 0
Adjustable mass outflow : 2.95803e-23

I have checked my BC's and they seem fine (U: fixedValue at inlet and zeroGradient at outlet, p: zeroGradient at inlet and fixedValue at outlet).

I have also tried initialising with potentialFoam but then I get following error message:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
keyword potentialFlow is undefined in dictionary

But I have already defined the potentialFlow in the fvSolution file...

Thankful for help!
