关于nOuterCorrectors影响计算速度和计算精度的问题

wuyukai

计算一个简单二维多圆柱绕流的动网格算例，网格数量大概40-50万，fvsolution中的nOuterCorrectors和nCorrecters我尝试了不同的值，发现随着该值设置的越来越大，结果才会收敛，最终分别等于20和10。但是这个条件下，计算时间特别久，一个二维40-50万网格的算例要计算将近90个小时，感觉很不合理。想请教一下各位大佬，我是不是哪里设置出错了？

算的什么多圆柱？有多少个圆柱？图形摆出来看看

cccrrryyy

nCorrectors太大了，推荐1-3，最多我见过用到3的。PISO算法本来只有2步压力修正，所以这个值你可以固定，不放心的话用3好了。

nOuterCorrectors你需要仔细的测试一下，这个和时间步大小也有关系。大致范围5-100左右吧。FLUENT那边的推荐值是20-25，我自己不管是在FLUENT还是FOAM测试出来的结果也都差不多，最多会用到30，一般情况下20左右。如果很多外迭代还无法收敛那你需要考虑缩小时间步长，而不是去无限制的去增大外迭代步数。另外你没有给relaxationFactors，为什么？

收敛不收敛是你自己设置的，不是说收敛了就对，没收敛就错。最终要靠结果去判断，特别是和实验结果的对比。

wuyukai

@cccrrryyy 感谢感谢，我在正式计算之前，算了单个圆柱的，和Oseen公式推出来的理论解能够比上。
您说的方法我试试，由于OpenFoam我也只是初学，没有特别系统的学过，您说的relaxationFactors 我还不太清楚，我去好好了解一下。

wuyukai

@波流力网格差不多长这样

Joann

参考DTCHullMoving算例中nOuterCorrectors为3，每个时间步里迭代3次，获得3个模型中心的运动坐标，那么如果要获得时间-运动的曲线，是不是选择最后一次迭代的坐标比较好呢？

李东岳

log文件贴一下

Joann

@李东岳比如这个时间步里，PIMPLE迭代了3次，分别有三个旋转中心，如果一个时间步就取一个值，是不是迭代最后一次的旋转中心较好？

多贴几个时间步，完整的，我再看下。

咦，看错了， @wuyukai 你的log文件贴下

luofq-sysu

@李东岳李老师，借楼问一下：滑移网格计算，每三个时间步会出现pcorr iteration 1000，可能出现的原因在哪方面？网格checkMesh无问题，可能会是GAMGPCG这些格式吗？

李东岳

@luofq-sysu 对，你换一下PCG，很有可能会改善

luofq-sysu

@李东岳谢谢李老师。1. solver.pcorr改成PCG，虽然还是出现iteration 1000，但确实快了很多。2.尝试将pcorr的tolerance从 1e-06改成1e-05，还是会出现 iteration 1000。这个有没有可能跟网格有关呢？整体计算速度慢的原因还有P_rgh也挺费事的

李东岳

@luofq-sysu

有关。

整体计算速度慢的原因还有P_rgh也挺费事的

网格多少。网格多的话就是那么慢咯

fvSolution中修改每一项的tolerance，我的case是bubbleColumnEvaporatingReacting，自带的tolerance是1e-20，我修改为1e-10后计算的非常快，而且计算结果几乎相同。
