Hi

Please forgive me if I've put this question in the wrong section or if the answer is very simple etc.

I am using a very basic euler code with runge-kutta and have applied it to a prandtl meyer expansion on a corner transitioning from mach 1 to 4. In the convergence plot of the residuals there is a large sudden drop of all flow variables. What is a potential cause of this drop?

Many thanks for any help.

what about your definition of resduals in the equations?
