Hi there!

I have just started with OpenFoam (and CFD in general) and am currently trying to kickstart my project with what I thought would be a simple modelling of a control volume simulating the freestream at 11,000m and Mach 0.85 for use with a mesh further on with a wing and nacelle in the control volume. However, having worked with icoFoam, I believe that due to the high reynolds numbers this is probably not going to work. A university colleague recommended that I uses a solver that uses a k-epsilon model of turbulence to keep my simulations from taking forever on my home computer (this is part of a distance learning course), Can anyone recommend a solver that would fit the job for me please?

Boundary conditions:
p = 22.6kPa
ro = 0.42kgm^-3
U = 234.22ms^-1
nu = 4.05x10^-5
