Dear Foamers,

I'm doing a scour channel flow with pisoFoam kOmegaSST, basically my BCs are as below, however numerical velocity result is not fit with experimental data (please see the attached figure).

I have y+ around 40 so I used wallFuntion at the bottom.
I have tried with many other BCs for U and p --> not better
changed fvSchemes to 2nd orders --> not better
changed to (much) finer mesh (checkMesh of both cases are OK) --> not better

The result is surprisingly good in scour hole but not good far the wall and far downstream, also my U at downstream is bigger than inlet velocity, which is wrong.

I'm not sure what to do to fix this, could anyone please have a look and any suggestion would be very appreciated.

0/U
Code:
inlet
    {
        type            fixedValue;
        value           uniform (0.405 0 0);
    }

    wall1
    {
        type            fixedValue;
        value           uniform (0 0 0);
    }
    
    lowerWall
    {
        type            fixedValue;
        value           uniform (0 0 0);
    }
