I'm using simplefoam trying to solve a simple case of pressure driven flow through a duct shaped like an s.
i got some results when i set the inlet velocity to 0, but i understand that is not the right way to do it and that it should be set as i set it below,which crashes.


p:

FoamFile
{
version 2.0;
format ascii;
class volScalarField;
object p;
}
dimensions [0 2 -2 0 0 0 0];
internalField uniform 0.000000;
boundaryField
{
inletXmin
{
type freestreamPressure;
freestreamValue 0.000000;
}
outletXmax
{
type fixedValue;
value $internalField;
}
bottomYmin
{
type freestreamPressure;
freestreamValue 0.000000;
}
topYmax
{
type freestreamPressure;
freestreamValue 0.000000;
}
leftZmin
{
type symmetryPlane;
}
rightZmax
{
type freestreamPressure;
freestreamValue 0.000000;
}
vol1face1
{
type zeroGradient;
}
vol1face2
{
type zeroGradient;
}
vol2face1
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform 100000;
}
vol3face1
{
type fixedValue;
value $internalField;
}
}

Ok, with a finer mesh it's better, no crashes
