I have 4 domains with the innermost domain @1km grid size. I am getting segmentation faults due to cfl errors only in d04 even after reducing time step to 1s in d04. I have followed everything recommended here https://forum.mmm.ucar.edu/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=133 I am confused how to solve this. Is there any other alternative to solve this? Have attached the namelist. Please help.

Hi,I have tried with turning off nudging but still getting errors. Do I need to reduce d01 size? I read somewhere timestep being related to mapfactor.
Regarding spectral nudging, I have kept the wavenumbers as 1 for the inner 3 domains. Does not that mean nudging will not be used for d02, d03 and d04 even if it is turned on? I always had this question in mind.

(1) If you turn on spectral nudging for D02-D04 (specified by grid_fdda), then nudging will be conducted over these domains.
(2) Your namelist.input looks fine.
(3) CFL violation indicates the model integration becomes unstable. In addition to time step, some other factors like very steep topography gradient can also cause the problem.
(4) map factors should be around 1.
I wonder where your domains are located? Did the case crash immediately or after running for a while? In addition to CFL violation,did you find other error messages?

I have attached the domains image.(wps_show_dom.png)
1.Crash happened sometime after starting, not immediately. There were SIGINT errors but those are caused by the cfl errors I guess.
2.My domains especially d03 and d04 do contain steep terrain.
3.Map factor is 1.32
I have completed simulations successfully with the given namelist upto d03. When I added d04, these errors started appearing.

I believe this is a problem related to large topography gradient. We did see similar issues before.
Please increase epssm to 0.9 and see whether this case works. If it still doesn't work, then I have to say that the domain D04 needs to be relocated. The model has its limitation and it cannot handle some extreme conditions like the one shown in your case.
