-To model low viscosity fluid (0.3 Pa.s for instance) it is important to used SRI elements instead of SRIPR. Indeed, SRIPR elements might induce oscillations in pressure and velocity fields. This seems to come from the different pressure value that can be stored at the deviatoric gauss points of SRIPR elements. For SRI elements, the hydrostatic pressure value is computed and stored at centre of each element. In that case, the pressure value on each element is unique.

-Boundary conditions might also have a huge impact on the convergence and the validity of the results. It is therefore crucial to check the way the elements deform along the boundaries and the corners.

-A good compromise must be reached between the elements size and the time step value. If elements are too small, low viscous fluid elements may reach configurations where Negative Jacobian take place during Newton-Raphson procedure. The more elements you have for low viscous fluid, the more difficult is the convergence and therefore the time step is decreased automatically by Metafor. It is therefore better to avoid refining mesh elements too much where it is not needed.
