We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Thank you. I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but I do have some idea. I'm also monitoring total pressure at the inlet and top outlet to see whether they are able to converge. This seems to be happening. I understand that the flow in the cyclone is implicitly unsteady. But still, the continuity residuals should be able to go at least under 1e-3, right? 

To add on the previous post, this is my contour of the tangential velocity:

 

Thank you for the tip regarding radial pressure distribution.
