Dear all,

I am trying to use the new implementation of MRFSimpleFOAM in OF 2.2.1, i.e. running simpleFOAM with the fvOptions.

The case is a simple blade of a wind turbine with an inlet, an outlet, periodic boundary conditions (since I simulate only one of the 3 blades of the WT) and a farfield.

I wanted to make the whole domain rotating which is apparently working fine. However, there is no way to make some inflow coming into the domain via the inlet. This is driving me crazy!!

I tried different things at the inlet: fixedValue, surfaceNormalFixedValue and none of them are working. The initial step is showing me a correct Ux velocity of 6m/s at the inlet. But then after a number of iteration, I don't have any speed any more.

Could someone point me the error I'm doing?
