Very fast convergence

Ahmad_Mwaheb · February 10, 2018, 16:10

Hello everyone,

I am modeling 2d multiphase problem VOF. I noticed that there is Avery fast convergent solutions before 20 iterations. My average orthogonal quality is 0.98. Is this normal?

That depends very much on your exact simulation details, but for a transient simulation 20 iterations/timestep is surely possible. However, it could also be that you did not change the default 20 iterations/timestep.

For a steady-state simulation, I'd be weary of this number of iterations.
