HI Andrew, We are tending to use the physical smoothing now, particularly with the implicit code. @Joao, Guglielmo can you have a chat with Andrew to see what might be going on? Cheers, Spencer.

Hello everyone, I'm trying to run a complex transonic case in the CompressibleFlowSolver which keeps diverging at a specific point in flow time no matter which settings I put in, including using a few different meshes for that geometry. After playing around with an alternative solver I noticed that the stability of the simulation was highly dependent on the maximum artificial viscosity setting for the shock capture method. So I was wondering if there is an equivalent option in Nektar++? Ideally one which applies to the NonSmooth capture method but I can switch to Physical if necessary. Kind regards, Andrew
