Residuals non convergence

Jinzhihui · October 12, 2017, 23:41

Hello,
I have been working with CFX on steady-state simulation of an object shaped like an ellipsoid.
During the grid generationg,because the geometry is complicated,computational domain is devided into several domains and the interfaces are set correctly.
The boundary conditions were defined as follows. The inlet boundary was set to
normal speed and the averaged static pressure was specified at the outlet.The other boundary condition were defined correctly.
During the steady state solution, the residual is oscillating as the figure 1 shows below.Maybe the figure 2 is what we expect.
I appreciate any information you could give to help me understand this issue
