ibelunatic is on a distinguished road
I am trying to compute lift and drag from 3 airfoils, set up in a triangle in 2D using simpleFoam (OpenFOAM 4.1) and the kkl-omega turbulence model. Upon running the simulation, time step continuity errors occur and my omega, kl and kt blow up. I do not know if I am using the most appropriate fvSolution solvers. I would appreciate if someone could have a look. I have also included my boundary conditions. My polymesh passed the checkMesh fyi, I can submit it if required.

fvSolution:

FoamFile
{
version 2.0;
format ascii;
class dictionary;
location "system";
object fvSolution;
}

nCellsInCoarsestLevel 10;
agglomerator faceAreaPair;
mergeLevels 1;
}

"(U|kt|kl|omega)"
{
solver smoothSolver;
smoother GaussSeidel;
nSweeps 2;
tolerance 1e-10;
relTol 1.e-3;
}

}
