Hello,
I read several topics about this problem but still not clearly. Yes, It is known that second order give more accurate result than first order scheme. But, in my case, cavitating flow, many researcher only used second order for pressure and momentum equations, for other equations just first order scheme and the result was good to compare to experimental result. The other used second order for all equations and also gave good result. For me, when I use the same way as second order only for momentum and pressure equation the results sre good to compare to my experiment. But with all equation are second order, the length of cavity is different. Also the same question for time scheme. Fluent said that first order implicit time is good for almost situations. In my case, first order time also gave good result than second order time. So I am not really clear which one is better and I think this also help someone else. Could you share your experience on this kind of problem!! |

Hi,
second order schemes are more accurate. Usually cavitating flows are difficult to converge, expecially the vapour equation, and this is the reason for the choice of the first upwind scheme, which is easier to converge. So, if you can converge with second order schemes, go for them, if you have trouble to reach convergence switch to first order. |

Thank you, ghost82
How about time implicit scheme: first and second order implicit. Also same reason? |

As far as I know, yes.
