Dear all,

I am doing a simulation of a cylindrical hyperloop pod through a low pressure pipe at mach 0.1 (Re=162822). I am trying to use rhoPimpleFoam because of the transient compressible possibilities. When i try to run however, i get following error (see image). I know with these kinds of error u have to go to the source code of the application that fails, but i can't seem to find which one fails, and i think my thermophysicalproperties are quite well set. Any tips or ideas? I have used the k-eps turbulence solver and estimated the k and eps values from the wikipedia. I am either thinking it is a stupid mistake or maybe i should us another solver? Thanks in advance

Greetings
Anton

Do you really need a compressible solver at Ma 0.1? My answear is not. Go with pisoFoam first

Yes I understand for mach 0.1 but the exam question I am trying to solve asks for solution up to mach 0.6 (just below transonic). So I think I would need a compressible solver to solve everything
