Hi all,

I am using OpenFOAM to simulate channel flows. I have a problem, and you guys can help me? Thanks.

I specified a very small temperature difference on top and bottom walls (e.g. 300.005 at top and 299.995 at the bottom wall), it seems that the temperature precision is not enough because when I check the T output in the flow field, the results are just 300.004, 300.003, etc. But what I expect is more accurate T value, like 300.004142, 300.003125. I want to increase the precision of temperature, how can I do it?

Regards
