CFD Online Discussion Forums - [OpenFOAM] The Inlet boundary conditions are not correctly shown in paraView

Dear members

I have a chamber which has shape shown in attached figure. Boundaries are inlet(bottom), outlet(at top), walls(left and right sides) and back and front.The blockMesh file entries are as follows

Code:

convertToMeters 1.0;

I want to set the inlet velocity(U) to 0.12 ms-1. So my U file entries in the 0 folder are as follows.

Code:

dimensions      [0 1 -1 0 0 0 0];



internalField   uniform (0 0 0);



boundaryField

{

    Walls

    {

        type            fixedValue;

        value           uniform (0 0 0);

    }

    Inlet

    {

        type            fixedValue;

        value           uniform (0 0.12 0);

    }

    Outlet

    {

      type            inletOutlet;

     inletValue      uniform (0 0 0);

   value           uniform (0 0 0);

    }

    back

    {

        type            empty;

    }

    front

    {

        type            empty;

    }

}

But when I open the case in the paraview and in the internal mesh view, I see that U at inlet is shown as 0.005399 ms-1. The simulation runs without stop. In each time step folder the U value is correclty shown as 0.12 ms-1. How can I overcome this issue?

Thank You
