hi all,
In a case I am doing, all the residuals are below 1e-5 and keeps unchanged for a very long time. However, all the results like temperature contour or surface coverage profile keeps changing. Is it normal? As far as I am concerned, if all the residuals are constant, then all the results should keep unchanged though they might not be converged results, right? can somebody give some help? Best. weiqiang. |

Residuals can be unchanging even when results change because residuals are averaged over the domain.

If the results are unchanged then that would be convergence... |
