Dear Foam Community,

Can someone give some insight on this matter?

I am running a 3D simulation and the solver is taking forever to compute, so I attempted to resolve with GAMG solver but the times are not changing.

Do I need to fix my blockMeshDict when choosing GAMG as a solver/preconditioner?

I do not have clusters and am working from a 4 processor workstation.

Sincerly, Lori

Here is my FvSolutions:

smoother GaussSeidel;
agglomerator faceAreaPair;
nCellsInCoarsestLevel 100;

relTol 0;
};

U GAMG
{
preconditioner DILU;
mergeLevels 1;
smoother GaussSeidel;
agglomerator faceAreaPair;
nCellsInCoarsestLevel 100;
tolerance 1e-06;
relTol 0;
};

taufirst PBiCG
{
preconditioner DILU;
tolerance 1e-06;
relTol 0;
};

}

pRefCell 0;
pRefValue 0;
}

p 0.3;
U 0.5;
taufirst 0.3;
}
