Hi,
I'm simulating a combustion using DDES turbulence model. I have high density gradient which causing instabilities for solving. To counter that I had to reduce my density under-relaxation factor under 0.1. For stationary solution this converge after some time, however for the transient I need to much iteration to get an acceptable convergence. But when increasing the density relaxation factor, the solution divergence again.


Is there a tool in fluent to counter this this high density gradient without setting the relaxation so low?


Thx in advance!
