Hello all,

I am facing a "strange" problem. When I use time step dt=5e-6, it runs well. But when I set dt = 1e-6, the solution will be divergent. a little strange due to the CFL-criteria.
I leave my geometry here:
In x-direction, the length is 2500 mm, and discreted into 100 points with simpleGrading=0.01.
In y-direction, the length of one block is 12.7 mm, and discreted into 80 points with simpleGrading=0.1. the length of second block is 1004 mm, and discreted into 200 points with simpleGrading 10.
In z-direction only one cell.

I am doing the LES simulation with rhoPimpleFoam.

tanks a lot for your suggestions and hints
