Nicola_Fontana is on a distinguished road
Hi everyone,
I would like to ask if anyone could help me or provide me general infromation about the settings of the configuration file for this two mesh. I already tried with different settings, but I can't get convergence in both case.
I can't figure out if the problem is in the boundary condition or in the setting of convergence criteria.

1. Subsonic Converging Nozzle
In this case I would like to simulate the subsonic flow throught the nozzle, including the outern region;

Code:
