Hi,

I'm new to Openfoam and I'm having trouble running icoFoam. I've created my own blockmeshdict file which seems to be working well, and I haven't changed anything to the original tutorial U, p and transportproperties files. I've played around with lower initial U and different nu values which hasn't helped the problem. Could anyone suggest what the problem might be?
