Lift magnitude out of range.
 

Using pimplefoam on a custom fan mesh:

post-processing in paraview
following tutorial process in other posts:
-extract block
-extract surface
-generate surface normals
-calculator w/ (p*normals) **note density not here....would just make lift magnitude even higher.
-integrate

my pressure magnitudes are wildly high (-5.6E6 to 4.9E6)
U velocities are unusually low.....

I feel like I've missed something essential at the solver level. I have seen that for incompressible solutions p=p/rho.... but that small scaling (1.121 kg/m3) won't correct an E6 magnitude error...

The solution is non-physical (nearly stationary fluid, high pressures, and high velocities near the surface) even though the solver worked along for hours in a stable fashion.
