residualControl with coupled solver
 
Hi all,

using pimpleFoam with coupled solver (e.g PBiCCCG) and residualControl gives Pimple converged , but the solution is not convergent for all components of U. One example:

for residualControl U=1e-7;
I get converged case if only one component of U is smaller than 1e-7 like this

PHP Code:

DILUPBiCCCG:  Solving for UxInitial residual 1.87789e-10, Final residual 1.86835e-21No Iterations 4
DILUPBiCCCG

PIMPLE
converged in 4 iterations 

So my question:
Is there a possibilty to do residual control for coupled solver in a proper way??? Or is everything fine and I miss smth.

kind regards
Florian
