CFD Online Discussion Forums - LES-kOmegaSSTSAS

Dear Foamer,

My case is a basic case related to turbulent flow over a cylinder. In fact I am going to compare lift&Drag coeffs with the literature data. I succeeded to use RAS-kOmegaSST already.
But my results were not accurate enough. Since the accuracy of LES models are better than RAS, I tried to use LES-kOmegaSSTSAS turbulence model for my case. After running, the execution process crashed with the following errors.
I think these errors are because of initial values for the turbulence model or used solvers. Am I right? Any body has an idea for the initial values of the nuSgs? I also changed the timeStep, but this has no effect.
