Hi everybody,
I am am new to OpenFoam and am working on simulating a mixing tank using SRFSimpleFoam. The agitator rotates at a speed of 200 rpm. The geometry is closed (surfaceCheck) and the the mesh is also OK (checkMesh).The maximum orthogonality is 59. The solver uses komegaSST model.
I've tried multiple Urel boundary conditions. However, my omega continuously diverges. Can someone please help?
