Hi,
I am simulating the flow in a channel using a modified simpleFoam and the k-omega-SST model. Every now and then, the solver can't solve for k or omega and their values just explode. Sometimes the simulation recovers from that state within a few hundred timesteps, sometimes it doesn't. Here is a sample output for a normal timestep and a problematic one: Code:
Time = 4180 DILUPBiCG: Solving for Ux, Initial residual = 0.002454946797335455, Final residual = 2.118201461652769e-08, No Iterations 6 DILUPBiCG: Solving for Uy, Initial residual = 0.001256415853039685, Final residual = 1.037692770489594e-08, No Iterations 6 DILUPBiCG: Solving for Uz, Initial residual = 0.003283733002456741, Final residual = 2.981279918575045e-09, No Iterations 7 GAMG: Solving for p, Initial residual = 0.02201556239585755, Final residual = 1.282423077370965e-07, No Iterations 16 GAMG: Solving for p, Initial residual = 0.008240116175764454, Final residual = 8.139580885669834e-08, No Iterations 12 time step continuity errors : sum local = 1.531473863748542e-06, global = -7.156743507425181e-15, cumulative = -1.45393053629309e-12 DILUPBiCG: Solving for omega, Initial residual = 8.626697921486998e-06, Final residual = 8.156673087094997e-11, No Iterations 5 bounding omega, min: -877.5914029924204 max: 9963507.932995282 average: 104575.2141635721 DILUPBiCG: Solving for k, Initial residual = 0.003874747711704138, Final residual = 5.92104344143439e-09, No Iterations 7 bounding k, min: -0.0001332252168376633 max: 0.05713142005592581 average: 0.003205000635194682 S_PRO= 4.802711559863782e-06W/K S_PRO,D= 2.028083115231596e-06W/K S_PRO,D'= 2.774628444632186e-06W/K S_PRO,C= 0W/K S_PRO,C'= 0W/K ExecutionTime = 1411.6 s ClockTime = 1434 s Time = 4181 DILUPBiCG: Solving for Ux, Initial residual = 0.002460388678483852, Final residual = 9.17931475513598e-10, No Iterations 7 DILUPBiCG: Solving for Uy, Initial residual = 0.001256478971499746, Final residual = 1.16998685088727e-08, No Iterations 6 DILUPBiCG: Solving for Uz, Initial residual = 0.003284937635407826, Final residual = 2.670988173110144e-08, No Iterations 5 GAMG: Solving for p, Initial residual = 0.02191503352549878, Final residual = 1.226826542535508e-07, No Iterations 16 GAMG: Solving for p, Initial residual = 0.008195653865403671, Final residual = 7.521263032788438e-08, No Iterations 12 time step continuity errors : sum local = 1.415562053229773e-06, global = 1.775764236376485e-15, cumulative = -1.452154772056713e-12 DILUPBiCG: Solving for omega, Initial residual = 8.719510075834142e-06, Final residual = 4808428634545.903, No Iterations 1001 bounding omega, min: -2.164755144508585e+21 max: 3.598949521217116e+21 average: 1.308210762796994e+17 DILUPBiCG: Solving for k, Initial residual = 0.3147840750606549, Final residual = 1.995451694496316e-16, No Iterations 1 bounding k, min: -4.418770186074049e-05 max: 0.05208677946321078 average: 0.001778830031969948 S_PRO= 1262457298.893128W/K S_PRO,D= 2.02929169556324e-06W/K S_PRO,D'= 1262457298.893126W/K S_PRO,C= 0W/K S_PRO,C'= 0W/K ExecutionTime = 1448.59 s ClockTime = 1471 s My fvSchemes for k and omega: Code:
ddtSchemes { default steadyState; } gradSchemes { default cellLimited Gauss linear 1; } divSchemes { default Gauss linear; div(phi,U) Gauss limitedLinearV 1; div(phi,T) Gauss upwind; } laplacianSchemes { default Gauss linear limited 0.333; } interpolationSchemes { default linear; } snGradSchemes { default limited 0.333; } fluxRequired { default no; p; } Has anyone some advice for me regarding what could be wrong and what I could do about this?
