Range of Additional Variable

Hi,
While solving for an additional varaible, I see that the solution shows some unrealistic values for the same (negative values). How can I impose a condition on the solver such that any values of the variable less than 0 should be made equal to 0? Regards Gauranga Das |

Dear Gauranga Das.
If you are worried about post-processing, you can create a new variable in CFX-Post, and make it equal to your Additional Variable and bound it on both limits. The negative values are there for a reason: 1 - Skew meshes allow unbounded solutions. How good is your mesh? If you improve (refine, better quality) your mesh, do the negative values go away? 2 - The solver cannot clip the solution variable; otherwise, the solution will never converge. The negative value is acceptable (though unrealistic in your particular case) for the discrete equations. 3 - Is your solution well converged? Perhaps, it is a temporary artifact of the iteration process. Opaque |
