I'm running into some trouble with a sphere of 1m in diameter for Reynolds number 200. If I have a kinematic viscosity of 1e-05 defined in transportProperties, I will be a speed n the order of millimetres per second. And, this gives a non-converged, very noisy, solution. I will try next setting a speed of 1m/s and change the viscosity accordingly for whatever Reynolds I need. I know this is the case with other solvers, like Fluent, does anyone know the reason for this behaviour? Regards,
