I'm trying to simulate the HAWT using MRFSimpleFoam and pimpleDyMFoam. Of course, they are the solvers in OF 2.1.0. But my continuity error of any cases always increased. I think that the problems are not caused by AMI, but caused by numerical schemes or linear solver. However changes in schemes and solver were useless. I wonder that the relaxationFactors could affect the continuity error surely and resolve the problem uncondidtionally. I already know that lower relaxationFactor could prove the convergence a little but make the speed of calculation slow. Could the relaxationFactors be the main reason of this problem? If so, why? more info. about my cases. http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...-diverges.html
