surajkvs is on a distinguished road
My solver Pressure residual is not getting converged event after 100000 iterations,The value of residual remains between 0.1 and 1.0 . And I want it in below 0.001 atleast.What could be the possible reasons.
What changes should I do.
I am using MPPICFoam .

my details of setting file is as below-
Please suggest me chages,I tried with changing Mesh size.deltaT but unable to get.My solver is working very slow.
