problem with running simulation in parallel

Submitted by fanfengxian on Tue, 03/04/2014 - 14:27

Hi, all
I am simulating a fluid flow in a periodic cylinder pipe using OpenFOAM.

The 0/U and 0/p files are set as following:

0/U
inlet
{
type cyclic;
value uniform (0 0 0);
}
outlet
{
type cyclic;
value uniform (0 0 0);
}
wall
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform (0 0 0);
}

0/p
inlet
{
type fan;
patchType cyclic;
f List 1 (-0.0128);
value uniform 0;
}
outlet
{
type fan;
patchType cyclic;
f List 1 (-0.0128);
value uniform 0;
}
wall
{
type zeroGradient;
}

It works well.
But when I run the simulation in parallel, the pressure field and the velocity field become zero in the first time step.

Do you have any idea for the reason? Thanks in advance.
