Hi
I keep running the same model several times. Each time I change the mesh hoping to obtain converged results. However, I keep thinking that perhaps it won't converged or maybe I need more iterations. How many iterations should I at least give it to arrive to a conclusion? http://i1009.photobucket.com/albums/...02/Results.jpg http://i1009.photobucket.com/albums/af216/eespi002/Residuals.jpg Please help.

Hi eespi002,
If I am right, the first pic tells me you are doing a 3-D laminar flow simulation. And the second pic tells me you've done 300 iterations. First, for a 3-D flow simulation, 300 iterations is way too less. try more. Second, the continuity convergence looks pretty bad to me. If it drops at larger iteration numbers, it will be fine. Otherwise, you will have to find if you are using a right flow model. Check your Re number, see if it's a turbulent or laminar flow. Good luck. Quote:
