Bob Tipton is on a distinguished road
After weeks of experimenting I was able to reproduce a reference solid hemisphere's Cd to 0.020%.
I did this on my laptop.
I then tested the same case on my laptop using mpi and 4 cores. The results are identical to all decimal places.

I then moved the mpi case to a cloud service (KaleidoSim).

The cloud service is has the same version number of openFoam that I do.

The cloud service is off by 1.025% and doesn't converge.
I checked the forces output file and the cloud service differs on step #1.

I did this test preparatory to running a lot of trade studies so that I could have reasonable assurance my work was correct and reproducable.

What settings, options etc. could cause such a discrepency?

Yes, I did an exact zip and upload of my local case sans outputs.

Both are running rev 1912. I know it's out of date, but it the configuration that works best for my needs.
