Hi all,
Below is my recent residuals plot from case and partial of the simpleFoam log
Just some questions about it that I’m wondering:
Q1. Why the values for k and epsilon are constantly 0?
Q2. Some article suggest that the value of final residual has to be at least below 1e-5 (even if already convergence) to prove test accuracy. In my case below shall I increase the iteration or refine the mesh so that the final number can get smaller?
