canopus Member SM Join Date: Dec 2010 Posts: 97 Rep Power: 15	I am trying to do RANS of pulsating flow in a 2-D diffuser. I use pimpleFoam solver and the settings are copied from pitzDaily case. While giving uniform inlet velocity I have a converged solution with a very small deltaT. However when I run a simulation with pulsating inflow the simulation diverges. I am using kEpsilon with average y+ 22. What are the most crucial settings with respect to fvSchemes and fvSolution to achieve convergence (for different solvers as well)?
