Convergence issues

fluiddynamicsyay · June 25, 2019, 11:09

Hello again! I am trying to run the hypersonic double cone case as a test (mesh attached), but SU2 diverges before displaying any iterations. The error it returns is:

Error in "void CIntegration::Convergence_Monitoring(CGeometry *, CConfig *, unsigned long, double, unsigned short)":
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SU2 has diverged (NaN detected).
------------------------------ Error Exit -------------------------------

Full output is attached. What could be causing this?

I cant access your cfg/mesh files from where I am.

However, an instant divergence could suggest a few problems (not in any order of likelihood):
1.) Something is set incorrectly in preprocessing/SetNondimensional routines
2.) The mesh has some issues
3.) The numerical scheme has issues at large mach numbers.

I would suggest turning off multigrid to start. If you could post a .txt file of the config (not through google docs), I could take a look.

Best,
Wally

could you tell me what the problem was?
