Abstract
Underβrelaxation factors are significant parameters affecting the convergence of a numerical scheme. Some earlier work has been done to optimize these parameters, but this was restricted to special flow domains, and the range of changes for underβrelaxation factors and convective algorithms are limited.
In this paper, the effects of changing underβrelaxation factors for different variables, different convective schemes and grid sizes on the convergence of the numerical solution of three 2D turbulent flow situations are studied. These three flows are duct flow, trench flow and inclined free falling jet flow. Copyright Β© 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
