May 3, 2014, 18:08	Time Step in sonicFoam	#1
MhamadAlloush New Member Mhamad Alloush Join Date: May 2014 Posts: 1 Rep Power: 0	Hello guys I was simulating my own 3D airfoil on a MACH 2.4 using sonicFoam. As I ran the problem, it took too many time so I interrupted it at some point. Note that in my system I have a very fine tetrahedral mesh at the boundary of the airfoil; the total number of cells is not less than 1 million. How to solve that? I had tried to increase the time step in the controlDict file but the simulation diverged eventually. Hope that somebody did 3D supersonic simulation using sonicFoam.
