I am having issues updating a solver from OpenFOAM 2.3.1 to 9. It is based on sprayEngineFoam/engineFoam, but it seems that cyclic boundary conditions with the layered mesh are no longer working in OpenFOAM 9.

I've submitted a bug report, but am wondering if anyone has run into the same issue here:

https://bugs.openfoam.org/view.php?id=3845

You can download the test case and run engineFoam and see how there is a significant loss of mass. This does not occur in OpenFoam 2.3.1 under sprayEngineFoam, nor does it occur in OpenFOAM 9 when the boundaries are all closed or a cyclic mesh that doesn't move. I am currently testing to see if it OpenFOAM 7 or 8 work, as it seems the way cyclic transforms work changes in OF8.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
