icoFoam error Message
Title
Question
I modified the dimensions of the cavity to my requirement in the blockMeshDict file.
Then ran the blockMesh file without any errors.
But upon running icoFoam, after a certain number of successful iterations I get an error message. It is as follows,
Time = 0.075

How can I rectify this issue?
Thanks, in advance.

Answers:
Please check the boundary conditions and the mesh obtained using the blockMeshDict file.
Also the increasing courant number in a measure of instability in the solution. Try reducing the time step size and see if it works.
