Hi Hakan, you're right. It was the fvSolution file.I've compared with other files from the tutorials. It is just a matter of the syntax. I had to move the "solver" and delete some " ; ". Just like this (an other file, made for pimpleDyMFoam): solvers { p { solver PCG; preconditioner DIC; tolerance 1e-06; relTol 0.05; } pFinal { solver PCG; preconditioner DIC; tolerance 1e-06; relTol 0; } U { solver PBiCG; preconditioner DILU; tolerance 1e-05; relTol 0; } k { solver PBiCG; preconditioner DILU; tolerance 1e-05; relTol 0; } epsilon { solver PBiCG; preconditioner DILU; smoother DILU; minIter 1; maxIter 3; tolerance 1e-07; relTol 0; } B { solver PBiCG; preconditioner DILU; tolerance 1e-05; relTol 0; } nuTilda { solver PBiCG; preconditioner DILU; tolerance 1e-05; relTol 0; } } PIMPLE { nOuterCorrectors 2; nCorrectors 1; nNonOrthogonalCorrectors 2; } relaxationFactors { p 0.3; U 0.75; k 0.5; epsilon 0.5; omega 0.5; } // ************************************************************************* // The strange thing about this file is, that only p shows bad divergence behaviour. EDIT: I meant convergence. Hakans next post adjusts my presumption.

And it doesn't become better. My understanding of mathematics is now limited. What can I do to make it better? My tutor told me to use pimpleDyMFoam.(First I wanted to use transientSimpleDyMFoam=) I suspect 2 weeks will pass until simulation ends. no good perspective. (I could learn a bit of latex in this time..but I think there is some mistake or bad setup for p.) Best regards, Christian |
