Danny Guest Posts: n/a	Dear all, I meet a problem when modeling a turbulent flow through two parallel heated plates: if I set different kinds of initial values (i.e., based on all zones or inlet flow, or...), I will get significantly different results (i.e., average Nusselt number, velocity, etc.), how can that be? And what should I do with it? thanks!
