Amit Katiyar Guest Posts: n/a	Dear Experts, I am solving a natural convection problem(Reyleigh No.=10^6) under steady state condition using cfx5. The residual plots of momentum equations are converging but in oscillatotory manner. The period of oscillation changes with the physical time scale in proportioal way. So should i go ahead with it or try to get rid of this. Is there any possibility of problem being unsteady state problem. please give me your valuable suggestions. thanks. amit
