I couldn't manage to run a viscous simulation for Supersonic flow over inlet of McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle. I always get ''SU2 has diverged (Residual > 10^20 detected)'' error. Do you have any suggestion for improvement about the configuration file or mesh file I prepared? Why I am having difficulty? I used Gmsh to create mesh file. You can find the geometry that I use for F-15 inlet in the attachment file. I used following Boundary Conditions as you can also see from the attached image of geometry,
- Supersonic Inlet
-Marker_Outlet (no-slip)
-Farfield (For the empty part wehere is bottom line under the ınlet of the geometry)
-Marker_HeatFlux (For the ınlet wall)

I am using SU2 v7.2.1. You can find my configuration file below. I would be really appriciate for any kind of suggesstion about my problem.

Can you try to turn off the multigrid byt setting MGLEVEL=0 and try?

Thank you so much for your reply. It really worked, now its converging.
