Pimple failing without any warning or any abnormal
 
PIMPLE ids failinfg without any warning, not sure what is the reason, when I re run the case it fails at a later time, any hints is it the GAMG solver?

Looks like some mpi error. Did you try to run it on one node

Unfortunately running in serial is not an option, takes for ever.
I instead ran the pressure with PBiCGStab and this problem went away.

Can you check if my GAMG settings are right. This problem always seem to arise while solving on the coarsest grid

PHP Code:
       solver          GAMG;           // very efficient multigrid solver
        tolerance       1e-07;          // solver finishes if either absolute
        relTol          0.001;          // tolerance is reached or the relative
                                        // tolerance here
        minIter         3;              // a minimum number of iterations
        maxIter         300;            // limitation of iterions number
        smoother        DIC;            // setting for GAMG
        nPreSweeps      1;              // 1 for pd, set to 0 for all other!
        nPostSweeps     2;              // 2 is fine
        nFinestSweeps   2;              // 2 is fine
        scaleCorrection true;           // true is fine
        directSolveCoarsestLevel false; // false is fine
        cacheAgglomeration on;          // on is fine; set to off, if dynamic
                                        // mesh refinement is used!
        nCellsInCoarsestLevel 2400;      // 500 is fine,
                                        // otherwise sqrt(number of cells)
        agglomerator    faceAreaPair;   // faceAreaPair is fine
        mergeLevels     1;              // 1 is fine

I'm not an expert settings of the gamg solver. I use the one of the motorbike tutorial. Playing around with the parameters and seeing what happens is also an option
