Convergence control based on lift coefficient

RasmusTJ · April 5, 2020, 16:56

Hello Foamers,

I've been following this guide using OpenFOAM v7, but I can't get it to work: https://www.openfoam.com/releases/op...on-control.php

I have searched for others succeeding in using this convergence control, but to no avail.

The Foundation distribution does not seem to have implemented a custom convergence control. Am I overlooking something or would you have to write a script to monitor the solver log and end the simulation?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Rasmus

For future reference I ended up writing a Python script which monitors the solver log file and changes stopAt in controlDict upon convergence.
