Hi, I'm a student studying on CFD these days, and I've spent an amount of time trying to solve an error.

I'll upload the full log file, so you might be able to check if you need it.

------Error Message Ends--------

I could check the pressure value not converging.

I've met this error before, and I was able to solve it by changing the solvers.
However, this time the error is not able to solve through these solvers.

I will add the files used for my CFD, however just for explanation the solvers that used to solve this problem were

solvers
{
p
{
solver PCG;
preconditioner DIC;
tolerance 1e-06;
relTol 0 .1;
}

U
{
solver PBiCG;
preconditioner DILU;
tolerance 1e-08;
relTol 0.1;
}

nuTilda
{
solver smoothSolver;
smoother DILU;
nSweeps 2;
tolerance 1e-08;
relTol 0.1;
}
}


But it doesn't seem to help anymore.



p.s. I couldn't upload my files due to file size limit. Instead if you need, you would be able to check the files that I used through the link following.

Thank you very much for your help

Lok what happens with your pressuer:

DICPCG: Solving for p, Initial residual = 0.999999, Final residual = 129029, No Iterations 1000
time step continuity errors : sum local = 4.41946e+103, global = -2.9527e+96, cumulative = -2.9527e+96

Mostly, b.c. are wrong in such cases.

Thank you Mr. Pilz. I should check my b.c. and try again.

Have a nice day!

I was able to solve the problem by increasing the

"internalField", "freestreamValue" values of the

"nuTilda" file.

I am not sure how this worked out, but seems like it is related with the "SpalartAllmaras" RAS model.

Hope this might help anyone else having the same problem with me

==(edit)==

Found out Mr. Pilz was correct!

The B.C. for nuTilda was wrong. Checking out about Spalar Allmaras model at Wikipedia might help
