Momentum Source Convergence
Hi. I'm trying to simulate air flow through a fan by adding a general momentum source to a subdomain, however I am having convergence problems.
Convergence of v-momentum eventualy causes divergence of u-,w- momentum equations (at about max-v-mom= 1e-02). (using upwind, timestep auto. but reducing t results in same) Seems the worst residuals are right at the boundaries of the subdomain where the source is added (1e-02). But Grid refinement seems not to help. Overall velcity field looks realistic (vmax approx 5m/s). Anyone have any experience / problems / ideas with adding momentum sources? ------ axial component: -500 * parabolic_distribution r component: 0 theta comp: 0 Momentum source component: -1e+05 NOT redistributed in Rhie Chow <-- seems to do nothing NOT incl. Coeff. in Rhie Chow <-- seems to do nothing Rotation Axis: GlobalY ------ |
Re: Momentum Source Convergence
You should not be using the upwing scheme. Are you sure your source size calculations are accurate? Manual contains a good section on dealing with convergence issues "Advice on flow moddeling".
