Hello

I have a PC with 4GB RAM 2 processors..
Ihave run a simulation with pisoFOam and today is 48 hours since i last start.. and still convergence not acheived..!!

Can anyone give me a better way to acheive convergence easier with pisoFoam?

I am attaching my fv solution just so that you may know what i did..
