effect of nonlinear terms
 

Hi,

I have a problem when i add a nonlinear term(quadratic term) inside my source term and openfoam gets error. what is the best config for fvsolution and fvschemes for these nonlinear effects?

Farshad,

Are you adding an implicit of explicit nonlinear term? After all, the linear system solvers only solve the linear system and can't solve nonlinear implicit terms. You will have to "linearize" your nonlinear term if you want it as an implicit term.

More info is helpful.

explicit nonlinear term
 

Dear Chegdan,

Thank you very much for your post. I need to add an explicit nonlinear term to the end of flame surface density model developed by Prof.Hawkes and Prof.Cant.

Is it possible to solve it without linearizing the pde?

Kind Regards,

Farshad
