happyFoamer is on a distinguished road
Hi Foamer-Community,

I'm trying to simulate an Airfoil 2D with OpenFoam and run into divergence problems. I started with 100 m/s (AoA=2°) and increased the velocity step by step to now 180 m/s. For 200 m/s the simulation crashes after reaching about 800 iterations. The residuals of k and epsilon increase and they are bounded.
I use rhoPimpleFoam and the mesh should be fine. There are no warnings when running checkMesh. As turbulence model kEpsilon is activated. TimeStep is set to 1e-4. I'm running openFoam in a virtualbox.

The domain consists of one disk with one cell thickness. The airfoil is cut out in the center of the disk. So there are 3 boundaries: Airfoil(wall); Farfield(inlet and outlet to produce 360° polars); Symmetry_Plane(front and back side of the disk)

It would be great to get some advices. I tried a lot but nothing succeeded.

Here are some specifications of my case:

Code:
