kdneroorkar is on a distinguished road
I have been trying to run a nozzle test case using simpleFoam with FixedValue pressure at inlet and outlet boundaries and zeroGradient velocity at both boundaries. I am getting a strange acceleration zone at the exit of the nozzle due to a very high pressure cell.

I know that a better boundary condition is an outlet pressure and an inlet velocity condition but I donot have this information for this case. Could someone please tell me if I am applying some inconsistent boundary condition or does simpleFoam have a problem with sharp corners.
I am attaching my case folder below for anyne who wishes to run it
