Dear All,

when I try to launch my case, using the simpleFoam solve, I get this error:

Code:
pc@pc:/OPENFOAM/cases/moving_door_def_flow/test/steadyNoBordiNoEnergy$ rm 0/* ; cp 0/originalFiles/* 0/ && simpleFoam 
rm: cannot remove `0/originalFiles': Is a directory

it seems you may lose a semicolon or a bracket in your fvScheme, its a typo error

That's good: thanks a lot for help.

Now it runs, but I do have another (bigger?!?!) problem: I get this error message
Code:

The simulation does not converge. The point is that if I run the same case with buoyancy (bouyantSimpleFoam instead of simpleFoam) it works.

What can I do?

Thanks a lot,
Samuele

this problem can be caused by several reasons,
maybe you need to increase iteration or change BC or refine your mesh
however it seems your numerical calculation is diverging

As far as BC are concerned, what do you suggest about pressure? I have 2 inlets and 2 outlets. I need to have the same mass flow entering from inlet1 goes out from outlet1 and the same with inlet2 and outlet2.

Also, the mesh should be fine, since it does not diverge if I use the buoyantSimpleFoam solver.

Also, where should I increase the numeber of iterations? I can't find the right file to edit.

Thanks a lot,
Samuele

I did.

I fixed the massflow at inlet1, inlet2 and outlet1 and I set zeroGradient as BC on velocity at outlet2.

This works well!
