I am trying to simulate a simple Plane configuration. M=0.9 & alpha-1.
No.Of cells : 459487 (tetrahedral).
Solver : rhoSimpleFoam

I attached the "system" folder.
when i run the simulation i receive the following error.

Anyone please help me.

Hi mecbe,

A so early crash often indicates and error in the internal field values at the start.
Make sure to use absolute pressure and absolute temperature. Also the turbulence properties in the internal field should be non-zero.

Maybe this helps

Hi all,

where can I check if absolute or relative pressure is used?
Moreover, if I want to use a reference pressure of 101325 [Pa], where have I to set it?

[mecbe2002]

You have to explore the code to see whether it uses absolute or relative pressure..

I am not sure about specifying free stream values..

Check this link. It may help
