Hi, I’m working with a CFD transient simulation of an intake manifold, so with the specs of the engine (4 cylinders) I set up a pressure pulse for each cylinder, so the time lapse for the valve open-close cycle for the 4 cylinders is 0.02668 seconds with a delta t of 0.00006667 seconds (the four cylinders) but the end time is 0.10672 seconds (I put 4 for times the cycle of the open-close valve), so as you can see in the steady state in all cylinders are almost the same velocity ( like 58 m/s) but in the transient analysis I runned looks some unstable in the velocity (Uy) in the beginning and I was reading about the convergence with the residuals so in the transient run i guess the residuals must be in the range of (1e-5 and 1e-6) , so my questions are:
- Do I have to change the relaxation factor of the velocity and pressure to have a better convergence?
- What set up do you recommend me with: numbers of outer correctors, number of correctors, number of non-orthogonal correctors (mesh quality, non, orthogonality between 60-50), solvers and schemes set up?
