Hi All,

I'm trying to simulate the case described here:

http://cfd.mace.manchester.ac.uk/cgi...&0&0&0&unknown



The W direction is resolved with 6 elements.
The solution progresses well except of Turbulence equations!! Residuals
there stick at 0.1-0.4... (Low-Re has to be used!!?)
The result is that velocities are much too small (~0.3 mm/s), but qualitatively right. Heat Transfer is without convection...
Turbulence quantities have zeroGradient BC's, for "p" and "pd" I wasn't sure what to use. Currently it is "wallBuoyantPressure, uniform 1 bar" for p (calculated, uniform 1 bar" gave same results) and "fixedFluxBuoyantPressure, uniform 0" for pd!

Any suggestions?
Is there any other solver/turbulence model for that problem??

Thanks in advance

Marco
