gravity on or off?
I'm dealing with a big geometry (internal flow), in which the vertical distance from bottom to the top is around 50m. It's single phase and surrounded by walls.
My only concern is that since I'm doing a particle tracking on it, I need to apply the gravitational force on the particles for that purpose.
Should I apply Gravity during the fluid flow iterations or not?
The convergence with gravity-off is nice! with gravity-on the convergence is not easily achievable (still I can get something), but the streamlines look weird and there are many incomplete streamlines!
PS: I'm using realizable k-e with scalable wall function.
