Hi everybody,

I want to use the new convergence check for the PIMPLE solvers in interFoam (OpenFOAM-2.0.0). So, I specified the following in fvSolution:

Code:
PIMPLE
{
    momentumPredictor no;
    nOuterCorrectors 3;
    //nCorrectors     3;
    nNonOrthogonalCorrectors 0;
    
    nAlphaCorr      1;
    nAlphaSubCycles 2;
    cAlpha          1; 
    
    residualControl
    {
        p_rgh    1e-3;
    }
}
However, when I run interFoam I get this output at the beginning

Code:
PIMPLE: max iterations = 3
    field p_rgh    : relTol 0, tolerance 0
and for each time step

Code:
PIMPLE: not converged within 3 iterations
althoug the residual is way under 1e-03!

Is that a bug or am I just missing a switch or something else? I already checked the source files but I could not find any valuable information in there.

Thanks in advance!

Lars
