Low Inlet Turb. Intensity - SST model not converge -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

November 12, 2005, 02:26	Low Inlet Turb. Intensity - SST model not converge	#1
Pete Guest Posts: n/a	Hi, I'm simulating flow in a diffusing bend. The inlet turbulent intensity that I measured from exp is only 0.5%. However, I found it very difficult to converge using such a low TI in SST model (residuals flat at 10^-3 for 1000 steps). I have to set TI as high as 3% to get the solution to converge to 10E-6. Anyone know how to modify the parameters in SST model to improve the convergence? Thanks,Pete
