Hi FOAMers,
I'm working with icoFoam, incompressible fluid (water) in a very tiny pores (diameter is about 2-10 micrometers). I tried many boundary conditions such as: inlet: pressure: zeroGradient, velocity: fixedValue outlet: pressure: fixedValue, velocity: fixedValue or: inlet: pressure: fixedValue, velocity: pressureInletVelocity outlet: pressure: fixedValue, velocity: fixedValue As simulation starts, Courant number start to increase and maybe after 30 time step, it reaches to 10+4, and velocity and pressure values reach 10+10. I thought it could be because of high boundary condition in fixedValues but decrease in the B.C. just postpones the 30 time step to maybe 50 time step. Now I'm confusing with the data and how I can converge the simulation and your comments can help me a lot. Thanks To add more information, the log file is as follow: (from 16) [QUOTE]Time = 16 Courant Number mean: 0.153578 max: 20.706 DICPCG: Solving for Ux, Initial residual = 0.586454, Final residual =

again Hi
as you see the above description, in solving pressure there is a time step continuity error, could be the problem this? should I decrease the time step? I do not think it affect in icoFoam? thanks |

You should! The courant number should always stay below 1.
