Hi Bernard,

I realised an hour ago that pressure in compressible solvers is of dimension Pascal and that pressure in incompressible solvers is of dimension pressure/density. The solver is running now. Sorry, I should have posted a message that everything is well, for now

Any comments? thank you very much in advance.
Several questions arise from your output:
- why do you have a timestep!=1 for a steady solver (not that it matters much, but it gives me the suspicion that the settings you're using were meant for a transient solver)
- is this the first time-step where continuity explodes?
- do you have relaxation?
- was the vanLeer your idea?
- what are the boundary conditions?

Hello, Bernhard, thank you very much for your precious comments.
About the relaxation, it is shown as follows.
relaxationFactors
{
p 0.15;
U 0.3;
k 0.3;
epsilon 0.3;
R 0.7;
nuTilda 0.7;
T 0.3;
}


Sorry, I have to post the results in the follows for the reason of too many characters.

No Idea what could be the problem. Two recommendations:

- when starting a new case base the settings on a stable calculation with the same solver. Usually such settings can be found in $FOAM_TUTORIALS. So what I'd recommend is to use fvSchemes, fvSolution and controlDict from the buoyantSimple(!)Foam-hotroom as a first guess for your case. The references to vanLeer indicate that this is not the case for your calculation
- for outflows that have zeroGradient for U don't use zeroGradient for transported quantities like k, epsilon and T. Use inletOutlet. Otherwise things might explode when you get a backflow there
