Hello,

supposing that the fvMatrix.residual() member give us the residual of the matrix in the form R = Ax - B, I've noticed a strange behavior.

In some way .residual() member applied to fvMatrix<vector> modifies the extra diagonal elements of the matrix:

the operator .H() returns different results for fvMatrix<vector> before and after calling the fvMatrix.residual() member.

Attached you find a simple code to reproduce the "phenomena" , you can run it under tutorial directory of the scalarTransportFoam solver

Tested on 1.7.x version yesterday update

scalarTransportFoam.C

Thanks in advance

Hello

I was wondering why after two months nobody of the developers reply to this post..
Anyway for the guys that need residual() functions works properly I figure out the error:

Change in file fvMatrixSolve.C the line 192 with:

tmp<Field<Type> > tres(new Field<Type>(source_));

in this way there is no more modification of the source term (that was the problem).

Regards

Luca

P.S.

you have to patch only the 1.7 official release
