Hello Everyone,
I am new to openFoam, I am trying to solve static mixture problem. Geometry is having two inlets and one outlet, inlets are at different temperature. I am using buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam solver. my solution is failing after the first iteration only with the following error

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--> 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 : 0.580728
Specified mass inflow : 3.1262
Specified mass outflow : 0
Adjustable mass outflow : 8.70037e-152


From function adjustPhi(surfaceScalarField&, const volVectorField&,volScalarField&)
in file cfdTools/general/adjustPhi/adjustPhi.C at line 114.

FOAM exiting
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inlets are not aligned with the reference co-ordinate so I am using surfaceNormalFixedValue at the inlets, This condition is working well for simpleFoam.

Help me to resolve this issue

Regards,
Sunil
