Hy .... i'm trying to simulate the pressure drop caused by the obstruction in a orifice plate. So i generated a duct upstream the obstruction with the purpose of obtaining a fully developed flow before the hole.
However simpleFoam doesn't converge. Please, help me. My term is ending and I still did not achieve satisfactory results. My turbulence model is kepsilon. CheckMesh is OK. My Re is 10000. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here my fvSchemes Code:
ddtSchemes { default steadyState; } gradSchemes { default Gauss linear; grad(p) Gauss linear; grad(U) Gauss linear; } divSchemes { default none; div(phi,U) Gauss upwind; div(phi,k) Gauss upwind; div(phi,epsilon) Gauss upwind; div(phi,R) Gauss upwind; div(R) Gauss linear; div(phi,nuTilda) Gauss upwind; div((nuEff*dev(grad(U).T()))) Gauss linear; } laplacianSchemes { default none; laplacian(nuEff,U) Gauss linear corrected; laplacian((1|A(U)),p) Gauss linear corrected; laplacian(DkEff,k) Gauss linear corrected; laplacian(DepsilonEff,epsilon) Gauss linear corrected; laplacian(DREff,R) Gauss linear corrected; laplacian(DnuTildaEff,nuTilda) Gauss linear corrected; } interpolationSchemes { default linear; interpolate(U) linear; } snGradSchemes { default corrected; } fluxRequired { default no; p; } Now my fvSolution Code:
solvers { p PCG { preconditioner DIC; tolerance 1e-06; relTol 0.01; }; U PBiCG { preconditioner DILU; tolerance 1e-05; relTol 0.1; }; k PBiCG { preconditioner DILU; tolerance 1e-05; relTol 0.1; }; epsilon PBiCG { preconditioner DILU; tolerance 1e-05; relTol 0.1; }; R PBiCG { preconditioner DILU; tolerance 1e-05; relTol 0.1; }; nuTilda PBiCG { preconditioner DILU; tolerance 1e-05; relTol 0.1; }; } SIMPLE { nNonOrthogonalCorrectors 0; pRefCell 0; pRefValue 0; } relaxationFactors { p 0.3; U 0.75; k 0.7; epsilon 0.7; R 0.7; nuTilda 0.7; } Time 0 for U Code:
inlet { type fixedValue; value uniform (0 0 3); } wall { type fixedValue; value uniform (0 0 0); } simetria { type symmetryPlane; } outlet { type zeroGradient; } Time 0 for p Code:

hi jon! i'm new to foam myself but i think you could try coping the system file from the tutorials folder to your case folder (~/tutorials/incompressible/simpleFoam/airFoil2D/system
) and run it with these settings. Make sure u got the right patches and boundary conditions you might wanna try setting some monitor points (can't help you much on this) to make sure your results are converging, check your 'stop" criteria too in controlDic /calim |

I cannot say from the few lines of your log file, that the solution is not converging..
If you have written out the log file, you can try using tools like PyFoamPlotWatcher to see how the residuals are. |
