HI
iam working on simple natural convection problem. i have taken a copper plate of 1250*80*5mm and placed vertically in a steel enclosure of size 1630*510*150 and 2mm steel thickness.steel enclosure opened at bottom and closed at top. for analysis i have considered only copper plate and air inside the steel encloser,i have given inflation mesh to air,which is having around 105000 elements.i have given copper-air interfaces. I have given opening boundary condition to bottom portion of air and all other outer faces declared as adiabatic walls.my model's vertical direction is y , i have given density as -9.81 in Y direction.tarbulence model used is k-e.I have tried both idealgas and air at 25 degC.i have tried different time steps for air and copper. Plese help me Thanks a lot NVSD BABU |

Hi,
Could you please tell what kind of convergence issue are you facing, is your problem diverging or you simply not achieving the residual lower limit?. thanks,, |

thank you pratik
i have given convergence as 1e-4, v-momentum not getting converged, it is oscillating and all other u,w and p getting 1e-4 convergence,but they are also oscillating. Thank you NVSD BABU |

Is it is high resolution scheme that you are running with or blend factor, kindly switch on the double precision tab as well, what is your global Y plus range and let me know more about the moniter points if at all you have
best of luck |

Thanks pratik, i will try with double precision.
I have tried high resolution,upwind and blend factor1 schemes. Maximum mesh expansion factor is 70.1 moniter point is temperature. Thanks |

hi prathik
global Y+ range is 0 to 3.412 Thanks |

Sounds all basic settings seems good, are you solving it steady state or unsteady state . Try running with smaller time steps . First use K epsilon model and first order trasient case. Let me know what happens then

thanks prathik
I am solving the problem as steady state.If i do in trasient state,please tell me how to take total duration and time steps. practically, to get convergence our model took 4hrs. do i give 4hrs as total duration. Thanks |

You need to find out the suitable timescale of your problem in way from the velocity lenght scale and the integral lenght scale , but usually it is so straight forward for complex geometries , in that case you can iterate your time scale factor starting from the time scale factor that CFX uses during the steady state calculation , we can get this number from the output file.
So run trasient with Kepsilon n first order ... i hope your fluid properties are reasonably quoted , anyways try out this and lets see what you get |
