I am running simulations using compressibleInterFoam but I have been stuck due to a floating point exception error.

The stack trace is as follows:

srun: error: cnode80: task 30: Floating point exception (core dumped)
As one can see from the max values of pressure and velocity these are extremely high, I would say unphysical ! So it is important to point out that this error is observed when using upwind for the convection of velocity, i.e. div(rhoPhi,U). That said, I am aware that the velocity can still go unbounded even when using upwind (interested readers, OF Tips & Tricks slides). The problem is that if the simulation does not work with upwind, it's likely there are problems elsewhere in the setup, I just haven't been able to find where for a very very long time

I have tried changing several things: made my mesh uniform, played around with schemes and solver settings, set a smaller deltaT, and I'm now changing some BCs. And yes, I've checked my mesh using checkMesh -allGeometry -allTopology and set my fvSchemes accordingly (at least, to the best of my knowledge).

However the most perplexing thing is that my results look perfectly OK until the point when the simulation crashes, and surprisingly, in excellent agreement with experiments. I doubt this would be the case if the boundary conditions were wrong?

Someone please help me figure out what is causing this error or at least point me in the right direction. I've been stuck on this for weeks and really running out of ideas of what could be wrong and things to try.

I'm happy to provide a minimal working example to anyone who is interested in this issue.

No one is interested in this problem ?

I feel like I'm going round in circles on this one...

To continue this monologue, I now think that the problem might be arising from the BCs for p and U on my atmospheric outlet. As stated in the user guide,
Quote:
a combination of totalPressure BC for pressure and pressureInletOutletVelocity BC could be the cause instabilities when the velocity increases rapidly.
To give a bit more background on my simulation, I am modelling a bubble confined between two parallel plates. The setup is axisymmetric with the bubble initially placed at the axis of symmetry.

The max velocity and pressure in the domain start to increase rapidly when the jetting starts, so this seems to suggest that the problem is in fact arising from the BCs at the outlet. Furthermore, the stack-trace error refers to fvPatchField therefore indicating something is wrong with one of the boundaries (please correct me if I'm wrong).
I am using adaptive time-stepping, so as the velocity increases, the deltaT is decreased to extremely small values until the simulation finally crashes.

I have tried using fixedValue for p with zeroGradient at the outlet for U but the error still occurs around the same time.

Can someone please suggest any suitable BCs for this problem?

Here is a summary of my current BC setup from patchSummary:

Code:
Create time

Create mesh for time = 0

Time = 0

Valid fields:
    volScalarField alpha.water
    volVectorField U
    volScalarField p_rgh
    volScalarField p
    volScalarField T

group : wall
    scalar alpha.water zeroGradient
    scalar p_rgh fixedFluxPressure
    scalar p calculated
    scalar T zeroGradient
    vector U noSlip

patch : right // outlet
    scalar alpha.water inletOutlet
    scalar p_rgh totalPressure
    scalar p calculated
    scalar T inletOutlet
    vector U pressureInletOutletVelocity

empty : left
    scalar alpha.water empty
    scalar p_rgh empty
    scalar p empty
    scalar T empty
    vector U empty

group : wedge
    scalar alpha.water wedge
    scalar p_rgh wedge
    scalar p wedge
    scalar T wedge
    vector U wedge
