Unknown patchField type characteristicWallPressure

[nic]

Hello cfdOFoamers!

After successfully solved the elbow tutorial, I simply tried to switch from Incompressible to Compressible + high Mac number, but this lead to an early error (message below).

Any idea?

For the moment unfortunately the potential flow initialisation does not work with the compressible solver. Please use specified values instead. Note that pressure must be an absolute pressure value (nonzero) unlike for incompressible flow (likewise for the pressure outlet).

Hi Oliver; thanks for the answer.

Just to be sure, it is also not supported at the moment to select "Compressible" and un-select "High Mach Number" ; is that correct ?
