In the above video we set the residuals to be very small, at 1e-6. This effectively ensured that the calculation did not stop before before the 1500 iterations specified. A solution is deemed to have converged (and the calculation ends) when ALL residuals fall below the limit set. Although I forgot to input 1e-6 for k and omega, the outcome is the same because the x-velocity, y-velocity and z-velocity residuals had not reached 1e-6. |
Solving may take a while depending on your computer and how it is set up, to give you an idea of the time it might take some run times are listed below.
| Computer Specs | Configuration | Run Time |
|---|---|---|
Intel i7-4770S quad core 3.10 GHz 16 GB RAM (Phillips Lab at Cornell University) | Double Precision 2 Parallel Processes | 67 minutes |
intel i7 - 2600 quad core 3.40 GHz 16 GB RAM (Upson Lab at Cornell University) | Double Precision 2 Parallel Processes | 75 minutes |
