Hi,
I have a FD code.
I wanna see the effect of UR factor on the number of iterations.


The problem is that when I use UR factors smaller than 0.25, the solution diverges!


How can it be possible?!

in some codes it is possible if they are using rie and chow dissipation in flux and ap is scaled by this urf factor. In this situation equations would decouple on low relaxation factor.


However 0.05 to 0.2 is not so small to really decouple. But it is possible in certain situations.



Having said this there is something wrong in that code.
