Auxcron is on a distinguished road
Hello guys! I am very new to OpenFoam and new to this forum as well. I would like to ask you a question about an OpenFoam case that I have. I am trying to simulate the flow from a large container with p1 going through a pressure restriction into atmospheric pressure. I am using rhoPimpleFoam solver, however whenever I run it, it does not solve any iteration (see the attached code output). It seems like it is not loading some settings, however, I am not sure which. I am also adding codes of my respective files. I used gmsh to generate the geometry and mesh and then converted it using gmshToFoam which worked fine. This exact same case worked with water but when I try to change the settings to air, this is what happens. Could anyone please give me a hand with what might the issue be? Thank you very much!!

Output after rhoPimpleFoam

Code:
Create time

Create mesh for time = 0


PIMPLE: Convergence criteria found
        U: tolerance 1e-05
        p: tolerance 1e-05
        "(k|epsilon|omega)": tolerance 1e-05
        nOuterCorrectors: tolerance 2
        nCorrectors: tolerance 1
        nNonOrthogonalCorrectors: tolerance 0


PIMPLE: No corrector convergence criteria found
        Calculations will do 2 corrections


PIMPLE: Operating solver in transient mode with 2 outer correctors
