Hi everyone!

I am trying to solve a 3D turbulent flow in a channel similar to this tutorial:

https://www.openfoam.com/documentati...nnel-flow.html

With the only difference that I am adding a small block downstream where I add an inlet that adds flow from the bottom upwards (to mix with the main stream)-see attached figure (mesh.png).

I use exactly the same controlDict, fvScheme and fvSolution files as in the abovementioned case (I attach the blockMeshDict file, which based in that case analogous file).

It seems a really simple problem very similar to one already solved in the OpenFOAM documentation, however, when I run the case using pimpleFoam: the following error appears:

Do anyone know what is happening and how could it be solved?

Sorry for my ignorance as it seems to be a very basic question!

Kind regards,
