Hello everyone
First, I'm pretty new to OpenFoam.



I try to simulate particle flow (air as fluid, solids as particles) in a cyclone seperator. Not with the model from the OpenFoam tutorials but one that I downloaded as a step file and created the mesh in Salome (using ideasUnvToFoam). I'm using OpenFoam10.



When I try to run the case with multiphaseEulerFoam I get the following error message:

I tried a lot but what helped me bit was to create a really coarse mesh and set down the timestep. But event then I get the error message after a few time steps. At least I figured out that the temperature of the gas is negative in the last timestep (which is not really physical). The infomation of the last time step is as follows:

Constructing face momentum equations



So the error occurs when it ries to construct the face momentum equations I assume? By what is this caused?
Help will be much appreciated!
