Hey there!
I have employed a UDF in my Fluent application to ramp up the velocity at my velocity inlet (thanks to ComputerGuy). I have adapted it to parallel fluent (as far as I know) and it runs for 3 iterations before displaying "updating at time level N" in fluent and crashing. I plot the static pressure at the interface showing no instabilities or oscillations. Also, I have used the rpsetvar command to damp the pressure at the interface.

My UDF is:

#include "udf.h"
DEFINE_PROFILE(velocity_x, t, i)
{
#if !RP_HOST
real default_early_velocity_mag,default_late_velocity_m ag,velocity_mag;
real the_current_time;
real start_velocity,end_velocity;
real ramp_start,ramp_end;
real line_slope, line_intercept;

face_t f;

default_early_velocity_mag=0.001;
default_late_velocity_mag=10;
start_velocity=0.001;
end_velocity=10;
ramp_start=0;
ramp_end=0.8;


velocity_mag=default_early_velocity_mag;
the_current_time = CURRENT_TIME;

line_slope=(end_velocity-start_velocity)/(ramp_end-ramp_start);
line_intercept=start_velocity-line_slope*ramp_start;

if ((the_current_time>=ramp_start) && (the_current_time<=ramp_end))
{
velocity_mag=line_slope*the_current_time+line_inte rcept;
}

if ((the_current_time>ramp_end))
{
velocity_mag=default_late_velocity_mag;
}

begin_f_loop(f,t)
{
F_PROFILE(f,t,i) = velocity_mag;
}
end_f_loop(f,t)
#endif
}

Thank you very much!
