Question about convergence criteria? -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

Thomas Guest Posts: n/a	Hello, just a short question. When I want to be sure that my solution is converged, then the report->fluxes->total heat transfer rate for all surfaces should sum to zero (or near to zero). Is this right?? Or is there another posibillity to be sure about convergence. In my actuall problem the residuals are all below the fluent default criteria (e.g. 0.001 for conti) The continuity is at about 0.00014, but the total heat flux report is far away from zero.
