Hi Hongtao, I don't know the reason for large pressure but you can use a localised initial disturbance, for example <FUNCTION NAME="InitialConditions"> <E VAR="u" VALUE="1" /> <E VAR="v" VALUE="0.2 * exp(-x*x-y*y)" /> <E VAR="p" VALUE="0" /> </FUNCTION> You may missing some bracket in your filter, such as <FILTER TYPE="AeroForces"> ... </FILTER> I attached one file I am using for your reference.

However, the pressure error in the final results is very large, and the filter does not output a file. I would like to know why this is happening. XML file attachment. Hongtao
