Hi
I am trying to run external aerodynamics of a Car ( SimpleFoam, RAS k-omegaSST with turbulence on)

I have ran the simulation for 5000 timesteps, but the pressure residue keeps on Fluctuating even though k,Ux,Uy,Uz have become steady.

This is the FV scheme I am currently using.
I have tried using LES model as well but getting somewhat similar results

FoamFile
{
version 2.0;
class dictionary;
format ascii;
location "system";
object fvSchemes;
}
ddtSchemes
{
default steadyState;
}
gradSchemes
{
default cellLimited Gauss linear 1.0;
}
divSchemes
{
div((nuEff*dev2(T(grad(U))))) Gauss linear;
div(R) Gauss linear;
default bounded Gauss upwind;
div(phi,U) bounded Gauss upwind;
div(phi,k) bounded Gauss upwind;
div(phi,omega) bounded Gauss upwind;
}
laplacianSchemes
{
default Gauss linear corrected;
}
interpolationSchemes
{
default linear;
}
snGradSchemes
{
default corrected;
}
fluxRequired
{
default no;
p ;
}
wallDist
{
method meshWave;
nRequired false;
}

Please Help its been a long since I have found answer to this.
