Hi foamers!!

I would change the ddtSchemes to be timedependent and not steadyState, because I want the program to continue calculating until I choose.

Anyone knows what I have to write in ddtSchemes??

thanks!!

ok thanks! I try all the time schemes but the programs stops before my endtime, how can I do to continue calculating the program until my endtime??

[akidess]

Which solver are you using, and what do you mean by 'stop' (i.e. crashes, or exits without errors)?

I use the buoyantboussinesqsimplefoam, and I change the geometry and the parameters of transportproperties because I have a laminar flux.

I study the difusivity in a cylinder.

The program stops because it's converged (SIMPLE solution converged in 139.5 iterations) but I want to continue calculating until 1000 iterations for example. If it's converged, can't I continue calculating??

The solver you are using is inherently steady state, so there is no point continuing the simulation after it has converged - even if you would run it for 1000 more iterations, the solution will not change any more. Use buoyantBoussinesqPimpleFoam for a transient simulation.

ok thanks! I'm going to use this other solver

If you want longer iteration for convergence you can simply increase the convergence criteria in fvSolution
