I'm just getting start with OpenFOAM and am looking to use it for external aero applications. To get started, I followed the pitzDaily tutorial in the Programmer's Guide for the rearward facing step with simpleFoam. When I try to extend this problem to 3D with a tetrahedral mesh around a simple aircraft, the solution is not coherent. I've turned off turbulence in an effort to simplify things with no luck.

Do I need to change interpolation schemes to get reasonable results using a tetrahedral mesh? What am I missing?
