hello,

i simulated a space capsule reentry to mars atmosphere in fluent 6.3.
the problem is my solution is not symmetric,mach number is 6.4 and angle of attack is zero.and after 25000 iteration in steady state,the convergence is from order 10-e2(not good).i should mention that i have two solid volumes inside the capsule that models the heat shield and their walls have cuople boundary condition.does any body have experience in this matter that could help me.why my solution is not symmetric?
thanks a lot.
