Mesh Refinement
 
Hello guys,
I am wondering why I cannot reach to a stable and unchanged results when I am doing mesh refinement in many steps. Now, I refined the mesh almost 7 times smaller but th changes are huge compared with the last step.
Really thanks,
Natali

Do you use the first-order discretization? If so, please use second order discretization.

I am using 2nd order.

How small is your mesh? You could be picking up transients in the flow. Maybe switch to the transient solver with a small timestep?

What was the size of initial mesh and refined mesh?

What type of flow you are analysing?
