Hi!


The application of relaxation factors in your CFD-models increases the stability of the simulation while seeking for convergence. So far, I only read that relaxation factors are usually applied to steady-state simulations. However, does the application also make sense for non-steady time-dependent simulations using solvers such as e.g. interFoam?


Best,
Bas
