Spalart Allmaras nan error
 
Hi,

I am running a case of injection and suction on the surface of the aerofoil using the Spalart Allmaras model. Mass flow inlet and pressure outlet gauge pressure is set to 0.

I get this error after about 2000 iterations.

"Error: > (greater-than): invalid argument [2]: wrong type [not a number] Error Object: nan"

May I know what is the problem?

Previously I ran a case with inlet gauge pressure of 500Pa, and outlet of 0Pa and there is no such problem.

Thank you

these are the last 3 iterations before the error.

none of them is approaching 0, so why is there such an error?

appreciate if someone could help. thank you.
