* Troubleshooting tips: Interpreting the residual error plot Usually, converging problems only require user intervention if the rate of convergence is slow Check model errors, for example a fan blowing into a sealed box or heat entering the system with no way out Check grid resolution in high error regions – the grid may be insufficient to capture flow details Check for natural instabilities - use monitor points to track unstable areas Use monitor point results and error field assessments to assess low level oscillating or stable residuals - often no action is required * * * * * * * * * * * The false time step sets a transient-like parameter which is used to ‘damp’ or ‘under-relax’ the solution of any variable except pressure. Set to correspond to time-scale of problem, e.g. (typical length)/(typical velocity). Larger values give light damping, small values give heavy damping. Automatic sets False Time-steps based on fans in forced flow cases and the EFCV in natural convection cases. Press [Calculate Automatic Values] to see the automatic value. The slider bar can be used to quickly change the automatic setting by either dividing or multiplying it by a factor of up to 20. Press [Calculate Automatic Values] to see the effect. User Specified allows you to override the automatic settings manually. Calculating the False Time Step False-time step under-relaxation is the principal means that you will use to control convergence of the iterative algorithm. For a given variable, this under-relaxation provides an inertial effect which restrains the amount by which the value in each cell is permitted to change at each outer iteration. The inertial effect is proportional to the mass in the cell and inversely proportional to the false time-step set for the variable. Consequently, the smaller the false time-step the larger the inertial effect, and so the less the variable is permitted to change. By default the program calculates an automatic false time-step which is use
