| Summary | 0002566: running tutorial SandiaD_LTS in dev (20170521 and later) limits p between (1e5 and 1e5) in the result. | ||||
| Description | While running tutorial SandiaD_LTS (with Allrun) it seems to be that the pressure is limited to 1e5 Pa after each iteration for p. Also in the log.reactingFoam it can be seen that after each iteration for p, the text "pressureControl : p max/min .." appears. Each iteration step for p start with a residual=0.9999999 which is leading to a large number of iterations. In the latest time step (5000) It looks in the residuals that the calulation is okay and that pmax/pmin is 100210.8 99993.7 but opening paraFoam for time step 5000 clearly shows p = 1e5 which is not a result of the calculation and might be misleading ! So, The problem is; - limit for p is min/max = 1e5 and the correction for p is executed also after the latest time step (see function pressureControl::limit in pressureControl.C) - more iteration steps are necessary to bring the residual down. I think I solved this problem by adding parameters pMax 1.1e5 pMin 0.9e5 in fvSolution in PIMPLE | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | install openFoam-dev (20170521 or later) cp -r $FOAM_TUTORIAL/combustion/RAS/reactingFoam/SandiaD_LTS/ . ./Allrun tail -50 log.reactingFoam after the end of running; open paraFoam in time step 5000 and check for p | ||||

Adding Pmax and Pmin in fvSolution seems to slow down the convergence because for example the flame temperature after 5000 time steps is still different to the older calculation result of SandiaD (see attachments). |

Thanks for the bug-report. The issue is with pressureControl when pressure limits are not specified rather than the configuration of the tutorial. I have fixed the code and testing now. |
