I watch to know, which residual is the residual for the declaration of P equation. I set it in the control file with a value of 1e-4. but look at the history, the initial residual doesn't reach this value at all when it moves to the next time step.
Could you pleae help me out.

Code:
PIMPLE: iteration 9
smoothSolver:  Solving for Ux, Initial residual = 9.98527e-06, Final residual = 9.98527e-06, No Iterations 0

Look at the 9th pimple iteration. There it happens.
For the last iteration, the fields are delivered with a RF of 1 and that's why you see a jump in the 10th iteration.
For more details google pimple algorithm. There is a nice wiki page that has illuminated the procedure.
