Sudden Expansion flow

I am a new user of palabos.
I try to solve sudden Expansion flow problem.
In order to solve it I took the tutorial code of Poiseuille flow and changed the geometry.
However when running the simulation it seems that the walls are not solid and I still recieve a tube tunnel in the result.
The code is attached and I will be greatfull for any asistance.
Thank you.

please… someone…
I just want to change the geometry from box to those shown in the picture.

And I don’t understand why I dont get “solid walls” with the code that I wrote.

Thank you in advence…
