advantage of having orthogonal mesh

Hi, If a mesh lack orthogonality in regions with large contour deflectios,e.g at an airfoil leading edges, what will be the disadvantages? many thanks,

Re: advantage of having orthogonal mesh

may drive the solver into divergence extreme unorthogonality cause the most problem for FVM solver

Re: advantage of having orthogonal mesh

probably false diffusion with non-orthogonal mesh......pls correct me if I'm wrong.
