Hi,

I am writing a finite volume code. But I met a problem. When using finer grids, the computation becomes divergent! What is the reason ?

Thank in advance.

hi there,

What kind of grid arrangement are you using? Staggered or Collocated? If you are using a collocated arrangement, well be sure that you're treating correctly the pressure-velocity coupling.You also need to pay special attention to the velocity correction. Check the following article: Morinishi, Lund, Vasilyev and Moin. "Fully Conservative Higher Order Finite Difference Schemes for Incompressible Flow". J. Comp. Phys 143, 90-124, 1998. Can be downloaded at: http://mae.uta.edu/~lund/ Finally be sure that your time step does verify the CFL condition.

I hope this helps,

Sincerely,
