Hi, i want to have a more lower residual for my analysis, what should i do?
i also want to have a more accurate results, on slat pressure coeffient, what changes should i do in my setting of openfoam? i attach the experiment pressure coefficient result and the pressure coefficient that is resulted from my simulation in the next thread. as you see i don't have an accurate result for my slat, what should i do? |

these are the experiment and my simulation result for pressure coefficient of slat and flap elements.
as you see i don't have accurate result for slat, and whan i change the turbulence model from kw-sst to RNGkEpsilon it become more inaccurate, why? |

these are the experiment and my simulation result for pressure coefficient of main element.
as you see in 0 folder, i use freestream boundary condition for my simulation, this boundary give me more better result than the velocity inlet&pressure outlet. |

Ok Dear nima, would you please explain the differences between tolerance and reTol in fvSolution ?
Thank you as you see the reduction of my residuals are really low, especially for p, i'll do what you said, and attach the residual figure. |

well
relTol is relative tolerance and tolerance is absolute one so it would be clear why relTol should be 0.0
