I got the following error message while running pisoFOAM for external flow. What are the possible ways to handle this issue?

Thanks,

First, try with the smaller value for the timeStep.
Your max. courant number is high.
if the problem still exists, try with a refined mesh.

another few things to try:
(a) double/triple/quatro check your BC settings.
(b) think about your initial conditions. do you start from zero or some converged solution
(c) have a look where is your Co so high.

good luck
