convegence accelerated ?
 

HI i want to know if we can accelerate a convergence ( reduce the iteration number ) without affecting the physical meaning a the results,in this case how?

Hi,

This is discussed in the manual. For a steady state simulation you use the timestep size as the acceleration parameter.

hi thanks alots Glenn,i have to do it because you've answered to many of my questions. actual i know that parameter,i think that a larger timestep would accelerate the convergence,but would it affect the result ( i mean the physical one),CFX compute the the auto,to which extend can i deviate from.

thanks again.

A converged solution does NOT depend on the timestep. Choose a value that gives you optimal convergence.

i haven't understood?,thanks

Hi,

A converged steady state solution will not change no matter how large or small the timestep. The psuedo-time terms go to zero. As Hekler says, you adjust the timestep to get optimal convergence for your simulation.

If you are finding the timestep size is changing the solution then you have a problem in your simulation.
