Hi Foamers.

I'm trying simulate pump flow.
The pump is designed for 30000 rpm 3 l/min 80 mmHg, which is confirmed by experiments and calculations in other CAE. But in openfoam, i've get pressure difference 4-5 Pa.
I think the problem is in the boundary conditions, but I could not find it. If You have other thoughts, please, share them

Log of 240th iteration of simpleFoam is below (further values ​​change slightly)

Code:
smoothSolver:  Solving for Ux, Initial residual = 0.00394491, Final residual = 0.00022398, No Iterations 2
smoothSolver:  Solving for Uy, Initial residual = 0.00389601, Final residual = 0.00022125, No Iterations 2
smoothSolver:  Solving for Uz, Initial residual = 0.00570575, Final residual = 0.000306543, No Iterations 2
GAMG:  Solving for p, Initial residual = 0.0503755, Final residual = 0.00293809, No Iterations 2
time step continuity errors : sum local = 6.72665e-07, global = 2.32316e-09, cumulative = 1.00009e-05
smoothSolver:  Solving for omega, Initial residual = 0.00117568, Final residual = 8.79286e-05, No Iterations 1
smoothSolver:  Solving for k, Initial residual = 0.00313401, Final residual = 5.56594e-05, No Iterations 2
ExecutionTime = 1361.91 s  ClockTime = 1405 s

surfaceFieldValue inflow write:
    areaAverage(inlet) of p = -3.89296
    areaAverage(inlet) of U = (-1.82488e-14 -1.8254e-14 4.25727)

surfaceFieldValue outflow write:
    areaAverage(outlet) of p = -2.57171e-05
    areaAverage(outlet) of U = (0.011222 0.000127945 0.227246)

surfaceFieldValue RotorVelocity write:
    max(rotating) of p = 10.1998
    max(rotating) of U = (8.29436 8.1681 0)
Here's k, omega, nut, p and U configs
