Default Closed loop system convergence problem

Hi Everyone,

I have a system with no inlet or outlet. The simulation domain is a room. Air is pushed into the room by a fan of an AC unit. The air leaves the room through a vent. A duct loops the air back to the fan inlet. I am not concerned about the temperature field for now.

I need some suggestions about how to initialize the system because running the simulation with the default hybrid initialization method fails to converge.

Thank you.

You need some idea about the flow in the domain. Then initialize the system using standard initialization with some approximate velocity or pressure. I just initialized the system with a velocity parallel to the fan inlet's normal direction and it worked.

All praise to Allah!
