Hii,
After I get convergence using SimpleFoam, and I have continuity errors of the order of 1e-10, as I check the value of div(phi) in all the cells, I find them to be of the order of 1e-3. But ideally they should be very small ensuring mass flux balance in each cell. Can someone please let me know the reason for this inconsistency. Thanks |

It could be the discretization schemes you are using...
