Hey

I am new to openfoam, I want to simulate some tubes inside a cylinder having steam, air is entering from bottom of the cylinder and leaving from the top due to buoyancy. I am using the zeroGradient BC for the inlet(bottom) and the outlet(top). But the solution is diverging, can anybody help me what boundary condition should i give for pressure and velocity in this case.

Thank you
