Industrial_CFD is on a distinguished road
I am looking to get some help figuring out why my pressure residual keeps rising. I am conducting an LES simulation; the mesh is pretty good quality (pure hexahedral), and mesh and boundary conditions are stable in FLUENT. But I need to implement this in OpenFOAM. Could someone take a look at my dictionaries and see if I am missing something? BTW I solved a steady-state using simpleFoam, which was fine, converged nicely.

I keep the Co number less than 0,5; even going as low as 0.05, but to no avail.

Really appreciate the help everyone.
