I'm setting up a multidomain (solid and fluid) transient simulation of a furnace (involving combustion) where I wanna know how much time is needed to get certain temperature in part of a solid domain (according to the experimental data is 4 hours).
I selected a timestep of the order of 1e-04 as the initial timestep and a factor of 10 to increase it, but after severeal timesteps calculations this timestep hasn't been increased yet (after 30 timesteps aprox.). So my question is, how can i achieve the result i desire using a higher timesteps with a good phisical accuracy, because if the initial timestep doesn't increase i will never get the Total time of the simulation (aprox. 4 hours). Thanks in advance. |

What are you using as your adaptive time step critereon?

I'm using the Number of Coefficient Loops method....
I tried switching to a timestep list with the number and the value of timesteps over my whole simulation and combustion never started...I'm using EDM and I don't know why combustion doesn't starts, as a solution I included a source point with the double of the activation energy as the source value with any satisfactory result... Any advice on my problem will be very welcome...thanks in advance ghorrocks... |

Yes....well i have already solved that isssue turning -1. the B coefficient (producto limiter), i had a value of 0.5 to control combustion

For single phase simulations you usually aim to get 2-5 or 3-5 coeff loops per iteration. For multiphase and combustion you will probably have to increase it, maybe 5-10 loops per timestep. But you might want to have some fine and constant time steps when you start the combustion.
