Hi all
I am running supersonic flow along with exit back pressure condition. I am using RNGEpsilon turbulence method. I am getting the good flow development. But suddenly openfoam quits with some error. When i checked the error, only differnce i found was k is negative. This happens after flow was developed fully but not yet converged. Is there any solution to solve this problem ?

hjasak will become famous soon enough
Your simulation has blown up a while before - have a look at your turbulence levels.

What you need to do is to adjust the discretisation on the k and epsilon. FOr starters, use upwind on convection terms, and add some Gauss linear limited 0.5 on diffusion for convection and diffusion.

This should fix it - good luck!
