Hi everybody

I am actually try to simulate WIND TUNNEL flow . the following are the inlet and outlet conditions:
Inlet
static pressure: 90419 Pa
static temp: 296.97 k
velocity: 2.374 m/s
Outlet
static pressure : 90057 Pa
static temp: 295.75 k
Velocity: 26.23 m/s
Density: 1.0609 (constant throughout the tunnel)
Viscosity : 1.83*10^-5 N.s/m^2 (constant throughout the tunnel)

I have been facing following issues
1. as the flow regime is in incompressible, i started with INC_RANS, where i used (velocity inlet & pressure outlet), (pressure inlet & pressure outlet) both has diverged.

2. i moved onto compressible solver where i took total condition at inlet & static back pressure at outlet. After solving the pressure is measure at the outlet where it is 89999 Pa instead of 90057 Pa. velocity at inlet : 3.85 m/s ( actual:2.374 m/s). velocity at outlet: 45.11 m/s (actual: 26.23 m/s ).

3. Pressure, velocity, temperature of inlet & outlet are different from the one which where imposed on them.

4. a change in initializing values ( freestream values) are also influencing the boundary condition parameters.

5. The solution is not stabilizing.

It would very helpful, if you can solve any of my issues. i am attaching my cfg file along with this for reference.
