I'm interested in what actually does UEqn.relax() in pisoFoam ?
It stabilized (accelerated) my comptutation of the thermo flow in a channel and the phase change liquid-solid a lot, but I do not know if the solution is correct, I mean the transient solution, not the steady-state one.

Thanks for any help,

Gregor

UEqn.relax() exists in pisoFoam. but there is no p.relax(), Im confused too. Did you find a solution?

It's an old thread but I also can't find an answer.

Do any one know why we have Ueqn,relax() in pisoFoam which is a transient solver ?

Also when we should use equation relaxation (Ueqn.relax()) and explicit relaxation (p.relax)?

Any contribution is highly appreciated

No matter SIMPLE, PISO, SIMPLEC or others, you can UEqn.relax(). However, you can not p.relax() for PISO. But p.relax() works for SIMPLE and SIMPLEC.

See Peric page 177.
