Hi,

I need to simulate flow over a cylinder for the following cases:

1) Inviscid Flow
2) Viscous Subsonic
3) Viscous Subsonic with RAS Turbulence
4) Supersonic

I'm able to simulate the first two (using potentialFoam and icoFoam respectively), but am getting this error while trying to simulate the last two (using pisoFoam and sonicFoam respectiely)

Create time

Create mesh for time = 0

Reading field p

Reading field U

Reading/calculating face flux field phi

Selecting incompressible transport model Newtonian
Selecting turbulence model type RASModel
Selecting RAS turbulence model kEpsilon
kEpsilonCoeffs
{
Cmu 0.09;
C1 1.44;
C2 1.92;
sigmaEps 1.3;
}

Floating point exception



Note that the geometry remains the same in all the cases, only the solver and the relevant inputs and boundary types change depending upon the case.

Also, for the supersonic case, the solution blows up (as shown above) after several iteration, whereas for the subsonic turbulent case, it blows up right from the start.

Can anyone please gimme a clue as to what is it that I'm doing wrong?

Regards,
Jignesh
