"A wall has been placed...." is not an error. It is a warning. If you are happy with the situation you can proceed.

You should consider changing the boundary to an opening.

hi dear glenn
after the warning "a wall has been placed ......" my run be stopped with errors i attached in previous post, in your opinion Which boundary i can changed? i consider variety of boundary conditions but unfortunately i countered with the same warning and finally get error, For several days I have runnig with consider u=0 and apply your orders & suggestions, in time steps 250 of 400 Fortunately I have seen in my upstream flow weirdness removed, after the end of run i express result of run in here, i hope percentage of error in my model be low.

Thanks in advance for spending time and follw up.

Have a look at the outlet boundary it is talking about. If the small amount of backflow the warning is talking about is insignificant then do not worry about it and proceed. If it is a problem then some options are:
* Change to an opening boundary
* Move the boundary further downstream

hi dear glenn
unfortunately i dont exactly understand of small amount?
Smaller than what amount is small amount and i can ignore it? my mean is a specific criterion for small amount,whether should it be considered with regard length of geometry? in my model after the warning as shown follow , my run be stopped, whether in your opinion amount of backflow is high in my model which stopped my running or cause of error is another thing?
i attached warning in follow.
I really appreciate your help.

You have to work out if it is significant or not. I have no idea what you are trying to do or how accurate you need to be. Only you know that. So you have to look at the results you have and the effect this will have on it and make a judgement about whether it is significant.
