Hello,

I have simulated flow around a cylinder in turbulent flow (Re=2*10^5) with the K- omega SST in 3D.
However, I have a question about the vorticity field that I have attached. Why there is such let's say noise in the area where I have shown by arrow?!!

I am going to share my fvsolution and fvscheme to have a better discusion.
Could you give me general advice on this matter?

Thank you.
