Hi,
If you manage to get it working let me know. In the extremely unlikely case that I ever manage to get it working I will let you know, I tried almost anything just short of defining new wall functions.
Cheers

I had such a simulation and even worked with (almost) default settings of the solver. But I have to mention that it was just a 2D geometrie (elipse rotating in a circle with little stoppers at the sides). And I used a really fine mesh (comperable with physical used mesh, extremely fine).
To start the mixer I didn't use a ramp function, but a step function (from 0 to 5 m/s in 10 seconds). Step functions are a little bit smoother then ramps.
If you don't have an inlet and outlet in your tank, then DON't forget to set a pressure point as a boundary condition somewhere in your model. The position doesn't matter.

In my case, it is a step function too... and the 3D geometry is quite complex... But I think that, for the ke model, the mesh need not to be very fine (not as fine as for Navier Stokes for instance)
Best,
Patrick

Hi,
My case is a 3D too and no matter whether it is a ramp a step or user defined. Regarding the mesh, it must be fine because it is still navier stokes equations plus some equations to take care of turbulence. Well rather than fine I would say the mesh needs to be balanced depending on your geometry.

Hi
I'm trying to simulate a stirring tank, Re is 23000, I dont think this fully turbulent flow, so I use laminar flow, but the model doesnt converge. I tried with turbulent flow and is very slow.
I really dont know what happen, some have any clue.
Why models does not converge for big time?
I did the simulation with the tutorial, t= 5s, and runs, but when i change to t=100, doesnt converge

Hi all,
Did anyone solved problem stated in subject?
Would you please help?
What model did you use?
Would you please attach file solved in Comsol 3.5a.
Thanking you.

Hi Fadel,
I am stucking with a mesh quality on my 3D turbulent flow. So I was wondering what does 'mesh needs to be balanced depending on you geometry' mean?
Thank you.
