Dear SU2 users;

I have a hypersonic test case at M=10. After nearly 500 iterations, I have seen that the aerodynamic coefficients seem to be converging in a 2-3% variation. I have also checked flow domain and I haven't seen any anomaly in domain.

However, I got suddenly FGMRES orthogonalization failed, linear solver diverged error. While I tried same problem at M=7, I haven't seen such a problem. I have also converged solution when I tuned MUSCL_FLOW as NO but I don't want to have first order spatial accurate solution.

Do you have any ideas/suggestions?
