SSG Reynolds Stress Model

Loris88 · November 1, 2013, 06:22

Hi everyone!

I would like to know which are the principal characteristics of SSG Reynolds Stress Model.
I have solved a problem with SST model. Using SSG model, with the same problem, I don't succeed to find the convergence. The residual does not go down and I do not find which could be the cause of this.

My prolem is a air flow in a rectangular channel that collides with a cube.
I attached the figure of the mesh around the cube.

So, If someone suggest me some trick for the convergence with SSG model, I will be grateful for the help.

Thank you

The Reynolds Stress Models all suffer from difficult numerics which makes them hard to converge. You have to use small time steps, high quality mesh, double precision numerics and a good initial condition to get them to converge.
