Summary0001751: div(phi, symmTensor) with vanLeer and QUICK
DescriptionNot sure whether this is really a bug but the behaviour seems to be a bit strange at first sight. I didn't investigate further. The problem can be reproduced with a slightly modified version of scalarTransportFoam for tensors and symmTensors and the corresponding tutorial.

The symmTensor results start to differ from the scalar and tensor values in the second time step. It seems to converge to identical values at the end but at the beginning there is a significant discrepancy. I observed this behaviour with the vanLeer and QUICK schemes. Linear, upwind or SFCD for example are not affected.

Output from modified solver:

Time = 0.0002
