Best schemes for P1 radiation model

I'm having some convergence problems when solving the P1 equation:
With this I mean that it often reaches the maximum number of iterations without reaching the prescribed final residual, at least in the first iteration of the PIMPLE loop. In further iterations it will converge faster. I have tried to ease the final residual tolerance once by an order of magnitude and my simulation crashed after a few time steps, so I believe I need to reach at least the current residual. This has a huge impact on my simulation time and I would like to improve the convergence behavior somehow. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend appropriate schemes and matrix solvers for such equations? Related: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...e-problem.html |

Some results:
I then tried to relax the equation in all but the last iteration loop. Relaxing the equation makes it converge much much faster (on the order of 1-2 seconds instead of 30 and with only a few iterations since target residuals of 1e-7 is easily reached), however, as this is not suitable for a transient case, the final iteration mustn't be relaxed AFAIK. The final iteration then shows similar convergence behavior as above, so it doesn't look like this had any advantages. For the record, I tried 5 iterations with a relaxation factor of 0.7. One more thing I'm going to try is a lower final residual in combination with multiple iterations, but I doubt this is going to help much as the residual isn't dropping very nice at all. Any other suggestions? |
