flowRateInletVelocity but no mass flow

I'm trying to calculate a scavenged prechamber, currently all boundaries but the inlet are closed, trying to simulate filling the prechamber (filled with N2 and O2) with CH4. Inlet are 6 holes (nozzle of the injector).
I set an flowRateInletVelocity BC on the inlet and tried various pressure BC-types (i.e. fixedFluxExtrapolatedPressure, fixedValue, zeroGradient). I am using rhoPimpleFoam as solver. With all my pressure BCs the simulation runs just fine and converges well, but when I look at the results, the flowRateInletVelocity-BC seems not to work, as expected I set a massflow of 0.0001kg/s (part of 0/U attached), but when I look at the results of Code:
postProcess -func "patchIntegrate(name=Vorkammer_DI_Einlass,phi)" Does anybody have an idea, what I could do wrong, preventing OF from satisfying the massflow-BC? relevant part of 0/U: Code:
FoamFile { version 2.0; format ascii; class volVectorField; location "0"; object U; } // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // dimensions [0 1 -1 0 0 0 0]; internalField uniform (0 0 0); boundaryField { (...) Vorkammer_DI_Einlass { type flowRateInletVelocity; massFlowRate table ( (0 0) (0.0003 0.0001) (0.0047 0.0001) (0.005 0) ); rho rho; rhoInlet 3.47355; value uniform (0 0 0); } } |
