This change affects the profile that is assumed for the non-dimensional near wall temperature (T+).  CFX wall functions are designed for extremely high speed flows (Ma>3), so the near wall temperatures that are calculated may need to be blended with low speed values in instances where the flow speeds are considerably lower than Ma = 3  The warning indicates that the flow is in this regime.  Sometimes, the high speed model is inappropriately set and should be deactivated.  In other cases, the T+  error messages occur because the flow is still developing and will eventually disappear.  The default setting for the recommended parameter, &#8220;highspeed wf mach threshold&#8221; is 0.  At this value, the parameter instructs CFX to use high speed wall functions whenever the High Speed Model is active.  Increasing the value of this parameter results in the use of a blended wall function.
