I am simulating a supersonic laminar flow over a cylinder and this error has stalled me for a while/ I've already checked the other threads, and none of them worked so far.

What can be the problem?


Create mesh for time = 0


PIMPLE: no residual control data found. Calculations will employ 2 corrector loops

From the error output, you can see that Ux takes 1000 iterations and your CFL number is above 1. Decrease your initial timestep and max Co number as a first step to working out the problem.
