Hi everybody,
I am running a LES in a turbulent annular pipe flow using OpenFOAM. I refined the mesh and changed some parameters in the fvSolution file in order to reduce the initial residuals of p and U, since with the previous mesh the residuals were pretty large. The problem is that I still observe large residuals: -) Initial residual for Ux (flow direction): 0.0067895 -) Initial residual for Uy: 0.0534113 -) Initial residual for Uz: 0.0542297 -) Initial residual for p: 0.11624 I am using PIMPLE as solver, as I am dealing with incompressible flow. I attach a .txt version of my fvSolution file. I hope somebody can help me. Thank you, Francesco |
