Dear friends,

I have a very basic doubt.

In simple foam, there is three continuity errors logged. In that, local is the max continuity error in a cell, global is the overall continuity error and what is cumulative?

I want to plot the continuity residual in my thesis and which one should I choose (global or cumulative)?

Also, one more doubt,
For me there is three pressure loops with each having their own iterations and while plotting pressure residue which one should I choose, first loop or last loop?
