Rising residual behaviour and convergence

Hi all,
Can anyone help me identify if the following Euler run has converged? While the CL, CD, CFz, etc. all seem to show a converged result, it is the first simulation I have seen where Res_Flow[0] – Res_Flow[4] (one attached for illustration) starts with a low residual and converges to a higher one. Is this a Is this physicallly valid convergence? I have also pasted the contents of my configuration file below, in case I have made a simple error in my setup. I could only upload 5 files so I chose a few different plots to show what appears to be converged values. The Res_Flow values look suspicious though! Also, what exactly are Res_Flow[0-4]? I saw another post suggesting one to look in the FAQ. While the link given doesn't work anymore, I presume it now should point to https://su2code.github.io/docs/FAQ/. The page mentions Residual[0] and Primitive[0] but not Res_Flow[0] etc. Are they just renamed variables? Apologies if these answers have been mentioned elsewhere! Please let me know if more information is needed to diagnose this. Kind regards, Tim Code:
