It does, try decreasing the deltaT.

Also, check your ddtSchemes in fvSchemes.

Out of pressure and velocity you can define one. If you have defined velocity at inlet and outlet as 30 m/s, then i wont prefer setting pressure = 0.

This is because of 2 reasons
1. If at the...

what boundary condition you are using for outlet?...

what boundary condition you are using for outlet?

Also what pRefValue you are using?

its because the velocity = 30 m/s at inlet.

what is the outlet velocity boundary in this case?

I do not think the pressure specified in the solver is relative. So u should either keep it floating or keep the absolute pressure.

But why inlet is fixed at zero now? Change in to zeroGradient

You have 30 m/s constant flow. Just tell me one thing if U at inlet is 30 m/s and Pressure is zero in that patch...is it consistent?

Why the outlet pressure is set fixedValue = zero?...

Why the outlet pressure is set fixedValue = zero? It should be zeroGradient.

For an unsteady analysis, zero gradient for both pressure and velocity will be fine. But for steady state study, its better to have a steady state boundary for both inlet and outlet.

Are you validating some experiments?

If the pressure is unknown, you should define the velocity at the boundary. Keeping both of them floating is inconsistent. Since this is a steady state...

ok...since you are doing flow past a cylinder with 30 m/s velocity. Your inlet boundary is consistent (since Velocity is initialized and pressure is kept floating).
Problem is with your outflow...

If your domain is 1 cell thick in z direction, then keeping the frontAndBack patch as 'empty' will reduce the computational efforts (it wont solve U for that direction). Otherwise, i dont think it...

Yes, I agree with MasterCooler. Out of U and p, one value should be fixed for either inlet or outlet.

In your setting,the velocity inlet is at 30 m/s but the outlet is at zeroGradient. This is creating the problem in your domain. keep the velocity constant at 30 m/s.
