Hello CFD community,


I hope this message finds you all well. I am currently facing a challenging issue in my VIV simulation past a cylinder and would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions.


In brief, I have been working on running VIV simulations using pimpleFoam, but I consistently encounter a floating point exception error after a few iterations. Despite trying various troubleshooting steps, including changing solvers, adjusting mesh properties, and modifying relaxation factors, the problem persists.



I suspect that the rapid divergence of acceleration and velocity of the cylinder might be contributing to the crash. For a more detailed analysis, I have attached the sixDoFRigidBodyMotionState file, containing relevant information about the acceleration and velocity during the simulation.

I have already sought advice from my professor and changed computers to rule out system-specific issues, but the problem persists. If anyone has faced a similar challenge or has any suggestions on how to resolve this issue, your insights would be immensely valuable.


Here is the case file for your reference. I appreciate your time and assistance in advance.
