unsteady state calculation with adaptive time step -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

November 7, 2007, 02:26	unsteady state calculation with adaptive time step	#1
sm Guest Posts: n/a	I have been using coupled solver for unsteady state calculation with adaptive time step. I find that the time step becomes very small (1x10e-08 seconds) and so it takes unusually long time to compute. Is there way to achieve convergence with a larger step size. Is linearization of the source term possible. Also can we fix the lower limit of the scalar variables i.e say it should always be positive. sm
