kooroshg1 is on a distinguished road
I am trying to write a CFD code based on finite volume method. I am using the SIMPLE method for pressure-velocity coupling and Hybrid differencing scheme for calculating the flux values on cell faces.

The code works perfectly with viscosity near 1.0 but when I decreases the viscosity everything breaks down. I am quite sure it is because of Pe > 2 at the cell faces.

Can you guys help me on this? Is high Peclet number is what causing my problem? Is artificial viscosity a solution to this problem?
