i edi performed a incompressible steady state flow for a centrifugal compressor...how am i suppose to use these results for compressible unsteady flow simulation using segregated solver?

Hi Siva
U continue the simulation from where u have stopped by changing the flow properties of the fluid to compressible ones and the inlet and outlet conditions as accordingly this would mean that the earlier flow developed by incompressible analysis would be initial value of the domain for next iterations |

hi ravi kiran!
thanx for help ..my simulation at 20k rpm manage to converge finally...now . i'm facin with another problem...i ran my simulation at 70 k prm using segregated solver for imcompressible flow...after 5000 iterations , my simulation din converge...my under relaxation factors were at their default values....can u advise u me on how i can solve this problem?what are the issues that are relate to convergence of a simulation? thanx in advance for ur help |

Have U try with coupled solver for your problem
and regarding the relaxation parameters u have to judge by experimentation with smaller mesh in case of coupled solver also u can continue with previously simulated data and while using coupled solver u can control the solution with smaller Courant number initially and later increasing the courant upto 10 or even 100 what it does is the it first makes the mass balance and later goes for convergence of the flow field fluxes(i have found in some cases which i did) ok try this one if u have time all the best bye Ravi |
