Dear foamers,
For pressure solver, we can usually choose PCG or GAMG solver. Code:
p { solver PCG; preconditioner DIC; tolerance 1e-7; relTol 0.1; } Code:
p { solver GAMG; tolerance 1e-06; relTol 0.1; smootlier GaussSeidel; nPreSweeps 0; nPostSweeps 2; cacheAgglomemtion on; agglomerator faceAreaPair; nCellsInCoaisestLevel 10; mergeLevels 1; } My adviser told me that, there usually CG and AMG ways to solve the p equation. And some of the relaxation is not always the smaller the better. Usually the factor is smaller, then the simulation is more stable. But some will become unsteady if the relaxation is too small? Can anybody give me some suggestion? Thank you. |
