Dear all,
kinematic viscosity "nu" can be modified during the runtime by changing its value in the "transportProperties" dictionary. Is there a simple way to change its value within the time loop? I would like to define it as a function of time/iterations in a SIMPLE solver to improve convergence like: while (runTime.loop()) { if ( current_time <= some_fixed_time ) { nu = nu_desired * ( some_fixed_time / current_time ); } else { nu = nu_desired; } ... } so that it reaches to the desired value after some fixed time. I would appreciate any proposal to implement it in an elegant way. Thanks in advance Taner. |
