Currently I am working on a project about the stability of hypersonic flow across a double wedge, shown as below:

I modified the geometry according to the wedge tutorial blockMesh file by OpenFOAM. However since the bc of the tutorial doesnt match the condition I wish to test obviously, I was trying to modify the files

I read the manual on OpenFOAM which stated that the units of U is m/s, T is K, and p is Pa. And when I tried to input the p as 391 Pa, U as 2382 m/s and T as 300K, then decomposePar and run mpiexec, all I get is:

Primary job terminated normally, but 1 process returned
a non-zero exit code. Per user-direction, the job has been aborted.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
mpiexec detected that one or more processes exited with non-zero status, thus causing
the job to be terminated. The first process to do so was:

Process name: [[2557,1],0]
Exit code: 144
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I checked my mesh already with the tutorial case which is fine, so I suspect its about the bc setups. Since I am new to hypersonic and rhoCentralFoam, I am just simulating laminar flow atm. I would like to know how to correct my bc setups to get rid of the error.

Thanks guys!

Hi Matthew,

I'm only an OF beginner myself, but what i have noticed is that
you have overspecified your problem, since you have given 3 of 3
bc's at the inlet. You should only specify 2 of 3 bc's and have the
third calculated e.g. for U using the pressureInletOutletVelocity bc.

If you have solved this issue please share it here. I am having exactly the same issue.
The compressible/rhoCentralFoam/forwardStep case in OF-2106 just fine until I change the 0/U, 0/p, 0/T, constant/thermoPhysicalProperties files. I want to use S.I. units where the tutorial uses normalised parameters. Is it possible to use values in S.I. units of parameters for this solver? If not, how can I normalize boundary conditions values and thermophysical properties.
