Hello everyone! An error occurs while solving the problem.

Task in the movement of air in the sinuses.

Time step 5e-7, Courant number <1.

The solution is stable until 0.025 seconds, after which the Courant number decreases and the solution falls apart.

Flow velocity 1 m/s, supersonic areas appear at the exit (which is very strange).

Mesh quality log here:

Create mesh for time = 0

Time = 0
