OK, I know I've been reaching out a lot, but everyone has been very helpful, and I'm learning a lot quickly. I think I'm finally stuck on settign up boudnary conditions.

The case is rhoCentralFoam, ~0.82 Mach, in the neighborhood of 30000'. See below for blockMeshDict, U, p, and T files:

Based on the errors I get (very similar to this threat), I think most of the problem is in my boundary condition setup; however I am at wit's end...I am having trouble accounting for what looks to me to be differences in how the "patches" and so on are used for different type of solvers.

Any help or guidance would be appreciated, I've been pulling my hair out since last week, and really need it to run roday

Thanks!
