pressure iterations not converging
Hello everyone, I am trying to model a reactor and I am having a few difficulties in doing so. The pressure iterations are not converging ( I tried setting max iterations to 5000, GMRES etc).
Are there any strategies to make it converge? Please help. Thanks in advance, Vikram |
Well, there are a lot of things that you can try... Check the troubleshooting section of the manual for suggestions. My recommendations:
1. Check that the initial and boundary conditions are reasonable and match reality. 2. Check any STL files for problems 3. Check your mesh. Cell aspect ratios should be less than ~3:1; ideally closer to 1:1. The cell size should not change by more than a factor of two between multi-block meshes and the grid lines should align. 4. Check that epsi/epsadj are reasonable 5. Try adding some fluid compressibility (rcsql/rcsqv) 6. Reduce the time step size 7. Increase GMRES subspace size (mrstrt) 8. Try SOR with omega<1 and itmax ~5000 As a side note, using itmax=5000 with GMRES usually doesn't work well. If the problem doesn't converge with the default settings it is usually an indicator of some other problem. |
Thank you very.
I figured it out, the problem was with my initial conditions. Thanks again Mr. dmilano |
