Hi guys,
I'm doing some experiments to see how the solution is influenced by the number of grid levels in the multi-grid solver. I'm using the grid (128x128) from the cavity case tutorial and laplacianFoam as solver with settings from the flange tutorial. Here is my fvSolution file:
/*--------------------------------*- C++ -*----------------------------------*\

nPreSweeps 0;
nPostSweeps 0;
nFinestSweeps 0;

cacheAgglomeration true;
nCellsInCoarsestLevel 4096;
agglomerator faceAreaPair;
mergeLevels 1;
};
}

SIMPLE
{
nNonOrthogonalCorrectors 0;
}

// ************************************************** *********************** //

Changing nCellsInCoarsestLevel between 4096 and 4 I cannot see remarcable differences between the two convergence history as you can see in the attached file. Is it wrigth? If not where I am doing wrong?
Here is also my 0/T file:

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

dimensions [0 0 0 1 0 0 0];

{

value uniform 273;
}

Wall-sx
{

}

Wall-dx
{

}

Wall-down
{

value uniform 1073;
}
}
