adjusting the maxCo during solution

maksjood · June 9, 2018, 08:26

Hi. I want for the maxCo to change within the solve due to some criterion. How that can be done?

I already tried just simply assigning a value to it with a line

maxCo=something;

within the .C file; but it didn't work.

You have to set it in system/controlDict

The line

Code:

writeControl    adjustableRunTime;

allows changes during runtime, and you may set the value in the line

Code:

maxCo           0.3;

to something different while the simulation is running.

It is often useful to start with a low value vor maxCo and inreasing it, when the simulated flow gets stable.

Thanks; but I need it to change programmatically (not by me). As you mentioned, I want it to increase and decrease duo to some criteria.
