GMRES

An iterative solver mainly used for solving large problems (degrees of freedom >  1 000 000).

 

Comments

When invoking the solve command for the first time, you have the option to initialize the flow field. This can be done by adding extra options to the solve command. The following table gives the syntax for each option.

Initial Guess Type

Syntax

Inflow (default)

pset GuessType Inflow

solve "solver"

Constant

pset GuessType Constant  pset InitialGuess {U_vel V_vel W_vel Pressure Temperature Strain}

solve "solver"

Compute

pset GuessType Compute

solve "solver"

None

solve "solver"  This uses zero for initial guess
