Hello,

First, I'm using OpenFOAM 5.0 (LES - Smagorinsky), the mesh and all my settings:

Re=5300 (R = 0,00635 - L=4D)

LINK

I start the field in RANS (steadyState - simpleFOAM) and later I make a copy of the folder with intention to start the simulations in LES (pisoFOAM). The way I do this is explained in the file - can also be seen in the tutorial (/openfoam5/tutorials/incompressible/pisoFoam/LES/motorBike).
I get the convergence of my model in RANS, but unfortunately I'm not getting success in LES (images are attached in the file).

I would like help in understanding my problem.

A piece of my log.LES:
