Goog Morning,

I'm trying to simulate a viscous flow around a circular cylinder (2D) but I can't get the solution to converge.

Does anyone have an idea or can explain to me how to choose and set the limiters? It's not very clear from the site how these choices are made.

In the meantime I attach the CFG file.
