Dear friends,

I'm encountering an "out of memory" error while attempting to simulate the cavitation effect alongside a turbulent model. Previously, I successfully simulated basic flow profiles with the same mesh density. However, adding cavitation has caused the simulation to fail due to memory constraints. I've attempted a hybrid initialization method after standard initialization failed to complete.

Given these challenges, should I consider increasing RAM capacity as a solution? Any suggestions or alternative approaches to optimize memory usage would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your assistance.

How many cells have you got, and how much RAM. Are you running PBCS? Which multiphase model are you using?
