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 found this on the forum regarding SST in cyclone simulation:

"Poly-Mesh with inflation layers at the wall.
I recommend to use either SST +Curvature Correction as start for EARSM and then RSM. In that order I will go."

Actually, that is also what I am doing: Using SST CC for intitial solution for RSM. Still, whichever mesh I use, and different settings in methods/controls, the inner section with roughly zero tangential velocity remains being much wider than expected, which can also be seen in the velocity profiles. 

I'm not sure what you mean with the key on the first contours. I have already extended the inlet/outlets by length of 2*D, which should be more than enough.Â
