July 5, 2012, 06:16	2D foil with simpleFoam: stability problem	#1
Nolwenn New Member Nolwenn Join Date: Apr 2010 Posts: 26 Rep Power: 16	Hello everybody, I try to run a naca profile in 2D. I studied it in the air with no problem, now I try to study it in the water and since 10 degrees of incidence I have stability problems. I use same Re, turbulence intensity, turbulence length scale. I change U, nu, rho from air values to water values. Can someone give me an idea to stabilize it? I tried to increase nNonOrthogonalCorrectors and decrease relaxationFactors but not very successfully ... Nolwenn
