One is correct and the other not so much. The only difference is that datas for Fig1 were calculated with bigger time step(0.01s) than the for Fig2.(0.00001s). How to explain this? What is wrong? Boundary conditions? (using slip BC cannot produce this error. can it?) Thanks in advance. here is case to try caseIcoFoam.tar.gz .
