Hi all,

I am simulating flow in a draft tube using transient SimpleFoam k-omega SST model and k-omega SSTF filter model added by Hakan Nilson

I have a basic doubt!!

In certain time steps i am getting lines which say

bounding omega, min: -1.15066 max: 11926.8 average: 522.558

But the solution converges still. (I have experienced similar cases where the bounding min and max values keep increasing and stops)

I would like to know, is the solution correct or not??

Hi Barath,
I am facing the same problem as yours. I am using the k-w SST turbulence model and during iteration, I have both bounding k and omega. The min and max values are between 1e-6 to 1e+6.
FYI, I applied boundary layers on my car (it's an external aerodynamics of car in a wind tunnel case) - about 10 layers and the y+ values are between 0 to 100 (average of about 30).

I think it is because of my y+ values but I am not really sure. If it's true, then should I increase my y+ values by making the layers nearest to wall to be thicker?
Could anyone help me on this?


Regards,
Ayu

Hi ,
I had a similar problem of very extreme values of k and epsilon (it was a wind simulation case). Then I tried reducing the relaxation factors for k and epsilon. I gave very low value like 0.01. Of course the simulation took a long time, but the bounding values did not go to extremes.

Try it out and let me know.

Cheers,

it is not working for me
can you give me another method to reduce the bounding variables
