Hi All,

I have highly skewed cell in my geometry. On simulation in Fluent, I have to reduce the momentum urel down to 0.01 for a converged simulation with 1e-3 residual for continuity. I wanted to inquire if the velocity field in this case be considered accurate. I dont have any other results to validate.
Also, would decreasing the residual to 1e-4 help get better predictions.

Is there any way to know in Fluent or Workbench which cells are skewed?

Thanks for you time and I would really appreciate your help in this regard.
