July 20, 2017, 03:41	Unexpected error when changing inlet velocity	#1
Taghi New Member Pouria Taghikhani Join Date: Sep 2016 Posts: 14 Rep Power: 10	Hi Foamers. I am trying to simulate a ship propeller in different inlet speed. So far I was able to complete the simulation in a specific velocity (5.4 m/s to be exact). But when I change the inlet velocity to a lower value (and I change nothing else) for example 2.7 m/s , the solver (pimpleDyMFoam) diverges after 2 or 3 time-steps. Does anyone have any idea why this happens?
