Observations:
- Case 1 converged to 10^-3 within 300 iteration steps;
- Case 2a converged to 10^-3 within 300 iteration steps, stopped converging after 500 steps and started fluctuating after 1000 steps;
- Case 2a converged to 10^-3 within 200 iteration steps, stopped converging after 1000 steps and started fluctuating after 1000 steps;
- Case 3 converged to 10^-9 with 1st order solver and then to 10^-6 with second order solver within altogether 8000 iteration steps.
- There was no observable significance difference in the results between different turbulence intensity and hydraulic diameters at the inlet, except for less turbulent flow had lower minimum energy dissipation rate at the entrance region.
