Hi foamers
I have some questions about divSchemes , when I use MRFSimpleFoam to simulate the centrifugal pump .
If I use below code ,I can simulate successfully.

divSchemes
{
default none;
div(phi,U) Gauss upwind;
div(phi,k) Gauss upwind;
div(phi,epsilon) Gauss upwind;
div((nuEff*dev(T(grad(U))))) Gauss linear;
}

But if I use two order accuracy limitedLinear ,it will be divergent.

divSchemes
{
default none;
div(phi,U) Gauss limitedLinearV 1;
div(phi,k) Gauss limitedLinear 1;
div(phi,epsilon) Gauss limitedLinear 1;
div((nuEff*dev(T(grad(U))))) Gauss linear;
}

My version of OpenFOAM is foam-extend-4.0. And its run log as follows,it only can run one step

Create time

Create mesh for time = 0

Initializing the GGI interpolator between master/shadow patches: GUIDE-OUTLET/IMPELLER-INLET
Initializing the GGI interpolator between master/shadow patches: IMPELLER-OUTLET/VOLUTE-INLET

SIMPLE: no convergence criteria found. Calculations will run for 1400 steps.
