Hello, Foamers

I'm now working on a test case which will refer to the solving of Euler Equations. During several days' work, I got one question

I'm planning to SIMPLE method to solve a 3D steady incompressible Euler Equation, so I just changed a bit on UEqn of the official simpleFoam, like this

MRF.correctBoundaryVelocity(U);

tmp<fvVectorMatrix> tUEqn
(
fvm::div(phi, U)
+ MRF.DDt(U)
//+ turbulence->divDevReff(U)
==
fvOptions(U)
);
fvVectorMatrix& UEqn = tUEqn.ref();

UEqn.relax();

fvOptions.constrain(UEqn);

if (simple.momentumPredictor())
{
solve(UEqn == -fvc::grad(p));

fvOptions.correct(U);
}

Acutally, just wiped out the turbulence term on the momentum equation

However, when I try to test this new solver, simpleEulerFoam, on the offical case, pitzDaily, it comes a error

Even decrease the time interval, it doesn't change. So, guys, do you get any idea on this reslut
It should be the reason that I modify simpleFoam to a Euler Equation solver in a wrong way, or it's because Euler Equation can't be solved by SIMPLE method, or some artificial viscosity would be needed.
Please give some idea and suggestion
thx^^

I am not sure, about the origin of your error, but I know that the form of the coefficient matrix changes if you modify an equation. It is possible that your symGaussSeidel solver is not suited for your knew equation. Maybe try another solver, but it is just a guess, since I found this behaviour when changing transport equations.
