Hi folks,

I am running a 3D COMSOL simulation and the problem is that the simulation is sort of stuck and the same
values and it does not change that much (see attached pic)...

Is there something I can do to accelerate the convergence.

I have tried using the Inconsistent Stabilization but it changes my values a lot in the final resultsa, so that's a no go!

Anyone has any alternatives?

I was reading the documentation and notice the numerical damping, but there is few information regarding this subject...

Any thoughts?

Best Regards,

Rui

Could use some help on this subject...


And to provide some more details:

My model is highly non-linear, since it is a modified multiphase flow.

I have modified the equations in the "Equation node".

Perhaps one approach would be to choose a more suited solver for nonlinear PDE.

Does anyone have some experience with this subject?

Best Regards,

Thank you for your reply Andrzej.

I am implementing a stationary solver.

Is it still applicable to Stationary Problems?

No.

Useful information about convergence can be found in the User's Guide. Ver. 4.2
