Hi all,
I'm using pisofoam to solve incompressible flow past multiple square cylinders at very low Reynolds number for Re < 150.
The maximum Courant number is 0.22.
I'm seeing oscillations in the time history of coefficients.
The flow seems ok.
Could someone suggest to me what should I do to aviod
such oscillations. I'm also showing below the controlDict, fvSchemes
and fvSolution file.
Thanks,
S Jawahar.
