Convergence criteria
Hi,
I'm using the SIMPLER method with a certain under-relaxation factor. Initially my convergence criteria was based on L2-norm as follows
where R is the difference between the previous iteration and the current iteration. However I noticed that this criteria only gave the analytical solution when the URF=1, which I later found out that with a URF<1, it gives me false convergence as the difference between the two iteraitons is reduced.
I then decided to use the following criteria instead
where denotes the maximum error after m iterations. Now I seem to get the correct result, I'm just wondering is this a normal way to determine convergence for such cases?
Thanks.
