Hi,

I am running a spray simulation in CFX 11. The residual ratio for convergence I have specified is 0.001. Now while iterating the criterion was satisfied at coefficient loop iteration 4 however it continued iterating after this iteration and is currently on iteration no.551 it still has not stopped iterating for the first time step. So can someone tell me why it did not stop iterating at iteration no. 4?
