Hello
I find that the convergence for my problem is slow. Here are the residuals : http://yfrog.com/0lresidualsp My problems is set up like this : Fluid = Air Solver : Not changed anything Viscous : Model = K epsilon realisable (No factors changed compared to standard) Wall treatment : Enhanced since I want to resolve the boundary layer (I've check, max y+ = 1.4) Boundary Conditions : Inlet : Velocity : 7m/s Outlet : Pressure : 0 Solve -> Control -> Solution Changed the discretization like this : Pressure : standard Momentum : second turbulent blabla : first Turbulent blabla : first Residuals : Changed the absolute criteria to 1e-06 Thanks for your help, I can show you the mesh if it's needed |

Your convergence isn't "slow". From my side your convergence is good.
You may try to change your URF, but it is just tunning in your case. I give you a tipp: don't look just at you residuals for checking convergence. I would monitor a variable which is in your interest (for instance pressure at your inlet, or force on a body). Convergence occures once you get a stable monitor
