I am currently working on a case that uses the simpleFoam solver with the kOmegaSST turbulence model. It involves meshing a car and then running the solver on that mesh. However I seem to notice that when the cell count of the mesh is above a certain level the simulation stops at around timestep 8-10, which I assume is because of convergence. When I lower the cell count in the blockMeshDict and the level of detail in the snappyHexMeshDict the simulation seems to run from start to end.
Would anybody know what could perhaps be the root of this issue? |

I doubt very much that it is because of convergence, since it has only run 8 - 10 iterations. What was the result of checkMesh? Did it crash or end cleanly? Did it post any error messages during the run?
Can I suggest that you post the log from your run, and maybe your fvSolution file? That way, we can take a peek at what is going on. Cheers. |
