mihaipruna is on a distinguished road
this is what I have in my p and U files for a flow driven by velocity. it seems to run fine:

for velocity:
SDuctWallface1
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform (0 0 0);
}
SDuctWallface2
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform (0 0 0);
}
SDuctInletface1
{
type surfaceNormalFixedValue;
refValue uniform -20.000000;
}
SDuctOutletface1
{
type zeroGradient;
}





for pressure:

SDuctWallface1
{
type zeroGradient;
}
SDuctWallface2
{
type zeroGradient;
}
SDuctInletface1
{
type zeroGradient;
}
SDuctOutletface1
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform 0.000000;
}


now, trying on a case where I want to run a flow driven by the difference between inlet total pressure and outlet pressure:

for velocity:
SDuctWallface1
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform (0 0 0);
}
SDuctWallface2
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform (0 0 0);
}
SDuctInletface1
{
type pressureInletVelocity;
}
SDuctOutletface1
{
type zeroGradient;
}



for pressure:
SDuctWallface1
{
type zeroGradient;
}
SDuctWallface2
{
type zeroGradient;
}
SDuctInletface1
{
type totalPressure;
value uniform 100000.000000;
}
SDuctOutletface1
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform 0.000000;
}

error:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
keyword gamma is undefined in dictionary "/home/cadne
/run/sductpres/0/p::boundaryField::SDuctInletface1"

file: /home/cadnexus/OpenFOAM/cadnexus-2.1.0/run/sduc
DuctInletface1 from line 51 to line 52.

From function dictionary::lookupEntry(const word&
in file db/dictionary/dictionary.C at line 400.


I'm running simpleFoam so it's incompressible.
