Hello

i wanted to start a case with openSimpleFoam of channel (30m/s and 293K) with secondary inlet (70m/s and 348K), but something is wrong because after a first iteration the density is far from realistic value (rho max/min : 7.62292 -65.1773) and then after third iterations i get an error:

Maximum number of iterations exceeded#0 Foam::error:rintStack(Foam::Ostream&) in "/home/user/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/lib/linuxGccDPOpt/libOpenFOAM.so"

FOAM aborting

Could it bee something the the path (red collor) is not existing on my computer?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

hi
did you tried to decrease your deltaT

[green]

i tried also with smaller deltaT and I figured also that i have to correct the epsilon boundary and initial values but the solution with rhoSimpleFoam doesnt work it stops with same error but after 6 iteration instead of 4.

I solved the problem with use of rhoPisoFoam solver.

Thanks for your reply
