julie Guest Posts: n/a	Hello all sorry but I have a very simple question to ask. How do we decide if the solution is reasonable? When I plotted the residuals, it shows a relatively horizontal line with small fluctuations and is of the order of 10^-2. Is this acceptable since it did not decrease exponentially? Also my other velocities have pretty low values 10^-6 but continuity convergence is much higher at 10^-2. How? Thanks a lot julie
