Pressure correction algorithm

Hi

Does anyone know which pressure correction algorithm FLOW-3D uses? I didn't find anything in the help.

Thanks,
Farzam

Pressure solver algorithm is GMRES, you can see it in the numerics tab, along with other algorithms for the pressure solver that FLOW-3D provides.

Is that what you were asking or did you mean the corrector part of the predictor-corrector type numerical scheme?

Thanks Adwaith! I meant the corrector part of the predictor-corrector type numerical scheme.

I found this document on your website: "Improved Generalized Minimal Residual (GMRES) Solver in FLOW-3D—How it works and when to use it". It describes it well.

To my understanding GMRES is only a solver in a bigger algorithm, but the whole thing is so-called GMRES, so the algorithm doesn't have a separate name (like SIMPLE, PISO,...) Is that true?

Thanks,
Farzam
