Hi Wei,

Your Helmholtz tolerance of 1e-16 is too high (p22) -- velocity components start an interation from 5...4.e-2 residuals and converge to 4...2.e-16.

Once you lower it, make sure the Divergence tolerance (p21) is still an order or 2 magnitude higher.

Aleks

Hi Neks

when I setup a profile 2D flow, there are informations like this, but the simulation is not crash,

Step    800, t= 8.0000000E-02, DT= 1.0000000E-04, C=  0.431 9.2444E+03 1.0117E+01

The CFL number is below than 0.5 already, the polynomial order is 7 in this case. when I choose a lower order p, this information will be disappeared after several  iteration steps.  I have checked the mesh looks fine, the parameters setting are copied from “ext_cyl”  with a smaller values of p21 to p25, I  don’t know what is wrong, should I ignore ?

thanks,

Wei
