SIMPLEC vs. PISO

March 3, 2000, 05:31

Hello,

I'm running a steady state incompressible turbulent flow problem and decided to try PISO instead of SIMPLEC and discovered that the oscillations in the residuals were reduced. Is there anybody that can support the conclusion that PISO might be more suitable for this kind of problem? (PISO was originally developed for transient compressible flow)

Regards

Andreas

for turbulent flows dont use simplec , use simple or coupled, u may get faster convergence it that

Especially one which has not applied to CFX for over 5 years. This post must be referring to CFX4 as CFX5/11/12 does not have SIMPLEC or PISO.
