residual oscillations
hi im relatively new to cfx, and im trying to model a can combustor flow with a mixture of propane and butane as the fuel. im getting steady residual oscillations in the solver after a 100 hundred iterations. im using EDM, k-e for turbulence. can anyone tell me why this is happening - i've tried changing to physical timescale, increasing the timestep, decreasing it,but nothing is working.:confused: id be really grateful for any help. thanks.

Did it converge without combustion?
What does the mesh quality report in the outfile say? |
@ghorrocks, i ve read through that already.. and though the timescale alteration works for some curves, the others are still steadily in a straight line. is it possible i have to change my boundary conditions? i have converged similar models with the same BCs.
@joey: i havent tried running it without combustion. i will do that now and see. |
it doesnt converge without combustion either - what does that mean?

If it does not converge without combustion, something basic is wrong. Follow the recommendation from Glenn.
