The uRes you compute with fvc is the "distance of UEqn from zero", meaning:

UEqn(U) = uRes

where UEqn contains all its terms.

Yes! The schemes used for gradients must be consistent.

Define a volScalarField for p, called say pRes, and a volVectorField for U, uRes.

I have to look into that more carefully, however the least-squares implementations for scalars identical (a minor difference in a constructor), but not for vectors, where the weighting factors are...

What problems for the chronicles? :-)
It would be useful to have this reported as a bug report, if there is some way of showing it.

P.S. With restrictive you mean the limiter should not be...

Hi,

I have used the setup I told you successfully in almost all my runs, so I would double-check the boundary conditions. Your checkMesh does not have anything wrong.

Out of curiosity, what...

Well, finite volume schemes are globally at best second order accurate, and the increase in computational time is really negligible. ;-)



I would start looking more carefully at other aspects...

No, I don't think 0.7 is too strong. Try to figure out why k is not solved anymore, while all the rest keeps changing (if there is a reason different from being it converged).



It is really...

Hello,

the solution is not converged. You are doing a steady state simulation: residuals should be significantly lower. Set the convergence criterion at 10^-10 and wait until that value is reached...

linearUpwind not linearUpwindV for k and eps.

Check the implementation in the code. I am not aware of any specific references (it is pretty standard stuff).

I have a few comments on what you posted.

- First your case barely converges also with upwind (residuals of the pressure are the highest (yellow line)). Reduce the tolerances on the linear solvers...

Hi,

both limitedLinear and linearUpwind are bounded. What is different is how the boundness of the scheme is obtained (see table 4.10 of User's guide).

Check your local (cell) Peclet number. The linear scheme requires it to be less than 2 (see Ferziger and Peric for a reference).

In your application you might want to use limitedLinear or...
