Dear OpenFOAMers,

I obtained a mesh with about 10% bad quality cells. There is nothing I can do to improve the cell quality. This mesh has already 8 million cells. So, I cannot add more cells to improve cell quality.

I am using simpleFoam solver. I have already use 1 iteration for non-orthogonality correction. Is there anything I can do to improve convergence? I am already using upwind for div in fvSchemes. Case is laminar.

Thanks!

Pei
