icoFoam crash with unreasonable velocity.
3 Attachment(s)
Hello,
A question from an inexperienced OpenFOAM user. I am playing around with a simple manifold design and icoFoam. After 10 time steps everything looks more or less ok, but then suddenly the velocity increases to unreasonable values. :confused: I increased the resolution of the mesh with unchanged results. I have this problem generally with icoFoam that U increases until icoFoam crashes with a floating point error. I understand I am doing something wrong, so if someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Thank you. |
I think I found the reason for this problem.
After decreasing deltaT from 0.1 to 0.005 it seems to work good. Could be useful for anyone else who stumbles upon this problem. |
Hint: Check that the Courant number is < 1. If you need large time-steps, use pimpleFoam.
