I am trying to simulate a 4 stage axial compressor, My mesh quality is good however when i try to run solver my solutions never stablizes and outlet mass flow becomes negative. I tried using intialize with cosnt. blocks as i have data of Temperature and pressure at intermediates interfaces. Also i tried with initialize with turbomachinery but none has worked. Kindly suggest something . Thanks

    Hi, are you sure that the pressure or mass flow rate impose falls into the range of the compressor? Multistage machines tend to have a very narrow working range.

    Hi, Thank you very much for your reply. Yes, everything was correct. I solved the issue by extending the outlet domain by 50 mm
