I was editing my relaxation factors, when a doubt crept into my mind. The factors that I started with were simply a REGEXP:

    equations
    {
        ".*"     1;
    }

i.e. no relaxation, just enforcement of diagonalisation on all equations, and I wanted to add relaxation on K for stability, viz:

    equations
    {
        ".*"     1;
        K.*     0.9;
    }

Now here's the rub - which keyword wins out for the K equation? The first line sets the RF to 1, the second to 0.9. Is it the first keyword that is listed, or the last? And what would the code use if I had:

    equations
    {
        K.*     0.7;
        ".*"     1;
        K.*     0.9;
    }

As far as I know, you cannot get the code to tell you what factor it is using - please correct me if you know better.

The answer, according to the user guide (4.2.13), is that the code uses the last instance of any keyword, and that a keyword entry always overrides a REGEXP entry regardless of their order.

I thought that that was pretty useful info, and worth sharing. Enjoy!
