convergence
hi! i'm new here in the forum and new in the fluent.
i made a case which suppuosed to be based on the case of ahmed body, acoording tutorials, and the results don't converge after 600 iterations. i wonder what could be the problem. i guess it's not in the mesh, because i followed the tutorials. could it be the models i used? i chose the K-epsilon realizable non eq. what else can affect the convergence? |
There can be many reasons. Please post a picture of the residuals.

here are my residuals...
does it help? |
They look fine. You should let it running until residuals are lower.
|
look at the solution method, the tutorials work in first order, yours are second order i guess.
|
You should monitor the parameters of interest at different points, to make sure it is converged, rather than relying on the progress of the residuals.
