I think the solution in a general c++ code using MPI would be to add a line like:
MPI_BARRIER(MPI_COMM_WORLD)

Ok I know it is anyway no real turbulent inlet because there is no turbulence strcuture etc.

Additionally, I was wondering what I have to set for k and epsilon at this turbulent boundary

- the utility createTurbulenceFields only works for RAS computations

So I worked on these utilities and after mentioning it in some posts I got replies and private messages asking me if I could publish

correctBoundaryConditions is also called after the linear solver call automatically.


Enjoy,

Then you can run patchAverage on each component:
You can also use foamCalc to do other things like calculate the magnitude of a volVectorField:
