I'm trying to run a model of a thrust plain bearing with a simple groove. The model is just a simple slice in 2D, cyclic, laminar. The sketch is exaggerated in height, the real domain is something like 12mm long and 0.01mm high. I'm having terrible difficulties with it. If I change the mesh cell count even slightly the results (forces on the walls) vary wildly and not in a trend of any kind... Is there something special about thin features that simpleFoam can't do or am I doing something wrong?
