Define time step

Hello,
I'd like to increase the time step in my transient simulation. But when I do that the calculation becomes unstable and diverge although it's an implicit calculation (thought in that case the Courant-number is not the crucial part). Is there anyway to increase the time step? Thanks! |

If you are use mars schem you can encrease blending factor for example up to 0.9. Another method is use switch/real constants parametres, but such numbers are usually unknown, so you must wright email for autors. Also for this method autors not garant validate data.

PISO typically works 'fastest' at around 4 corrector stages per time step, if you get the longest time step that does 4 PISO stages (typically with max Courant ~100) you will get about the best CPU time versus simulation time that you can.

1) Increase your mesh size. In particular, increase the size of small cells in high velocity regions.
2) Run UD discretization. 3) Watch for non-physical results. In other words, this may let your simulation run faster (larger step size) but might not give you a usable answer. |
