Hey guys,


i have a question about the residuals of p_rgh / the logfile.

As you can see, p_rgh is calculated twice. As far as I understand, this is because I use nCorrectors=2, right? So my question is, at which value am I looking at if I want to plot the residuals. Only the last p_rgh entry or is the first one important as well?

1) Right, because you are using nCorrectors = 2, the pressure will be solved twice. More details can be found in this openfoamwiki blog.

2) I believe you can find many discussions in this forum explaining how residuals are computed. Yes, you need only the value at the first iterations.

You don't need to extract them manually, use the residuals function object for that purpose. Use foamMonitor script to plot them.

Thanks for the fast reply!
