1) In your last log post, PIMPLE seems to converge. Don't you think so?
2) You Co is probably 20 because some cells are very small where the flow is fast, so why do you think this is wrong? If...

In the fvSolution, you put the "potential Flow" information into the "{" of the relavationFactors.
Since your PIMPLE does not converge, there might be a problem with the relaxation factors. I can't...

Ok, and you run potentialFoam with the same command, right?

Do you run this in parallel or just on a single CPU?

At least you get convergence of PIMPLE now, right?

You could now a) reduce the time step or b) have a look at the result picture of time step 1 and see where the cell with the large Co is located....

Michele, you still use second order upwind for velocity. You should change it to "div(phi, U) Gauss upwind;" if you encounter stability problems like you do.
Did you run the potentialFOAM solver...

I see I should have asked this before... but are you sure, that your geometry has a size of 15000 meter in y and z direction and 20000 meter x direction?

Can you post the checkMesh output?
You could also try this:
1) Also set the velocity divScheme to 1st order upwind.
2) Set "turbOnFinalIterOnly false;" in PIMPLE. This will let the turbulence...

Firstly, this is not the reason for your problems but: In my view the relTol of 1e-5 is insane. You see it in the later iterations that the linear solvers take 10 or even 65 iterations to converge....

No, I mean the log file is missing the information about the turbulence.

Don't cut the log file, I miss the most intersting parts ;)
What about the k and omaga solvers?

I would recommend a different residualControl setting. I usually use the relTol rather than the tolerance, because you don't have to concern yourself with the absolute values of the residuals. But...

Looks like it's the velocity solver this time, right?
I am not a solver expert, so I can't tell you why the smooth solver creates these problems. Usually, I use this setting:

Yes. You need to delete the two old entries "p{ ... }" and "pFinal{ ... }" directly below the new one. Otherwise "my" code is overwritten by your old entries and the solver keyword is missing.

Great, didn't see it.
The pressure solver doesn't work. Could you try to run it with some other setting? If the error remains we need to search somewhere else...

Michele, you use a wrong syntax for the relaxation factors in your fvSolution file.
Firstly, "p" must be written under "fields" instead of "equations" as far as I know. Thus, I guess your pressure...

We need more information.
1) How does the rest of the log file look like?
2) Boundary conditions
3) fvSchemes
4) fvSolution
Cheers,
Philipp.
