Problematic Mass Flow Case
Dear All,
I am unable to run a learning case due to convergence problems. Could you advise on the following: The case is steady k-epsilon Standard, has one mass flow inlet and two pressure outlets, the fluid is air. Mass flow inlet is set at 3kg/s Outlet1 is set at target mass flow rate of 1kg/s Outlet2 is set at 101 kPa. The case crashes if courant number/URFs are at default, so I tried decreasing them. At Courant number = 0.1 it runs, but residuals oscillate (for say 20,000 cycles) and stay high. Remeshing the model with finer mesh didn't help much. For this reason I am inclined to think that my case setup is not the best. I am free to vary the conditions at the two outlets, but don't know what parameters are reasonable and don't have experimental data I could use, except that Outlet2 can be left open to the atmosphere and it can then be set to 101 kPa. Appreciate your help. |
