51) click "Solution Method for Built-in Matrix >>" option. (See fig 4.1)

Fig 4.1 Dialog box for Matrix Solver

  1. We will have matrix sweeps only in X and Y directions, so check the Matrix Sweeps in Directions: labeled checkbox and uncheck Z.
  2. Check the checkbox for P, enter 6 as Number of Sweeps, leave Alternating Direction Implicit (ADI) method selected, as shown in Fig.3.6
  3. Click "Apply".

52) Now click "Relaxation factor" option to specify the relaxation factors.

  1. We would like to have Relaxation Factors of 0.3 for U, V, P, K, and E,; and 0.6 for P. By default the relaxation factor for all active variables is 0.5. The only exception is P (pressure) and that of P is 1.0. Hence we will change the relaxation factor of P, U, V, K and E as shown in fig 4.2
  2. fig 4.2 Dialog Box for relaxation Factor

  3. Click "Apply".

53) Now Click "Close" to close the Advanced Output Control Option window.

54) Click "Next >" to go to Runtime Control dialog window. (see Fig 4.3)

55) Click "Solve >>" and dialog box appears see fig 4.4.

Fig 4.4 Steady State dialog box

 Specify the values as follows:

  1. Select Customize "SOLVE' Command Options.
  2. Specify Maximum and minimum number of steps as 1500 both, for fixed number of steps.
  3. Click "Apply".

56) Click "Finish" and a message window appears as shown in fig 4.5. Click "Yes" to save the project.

This concludes the setup of the problem. If it is not already, make the Commands File viewable. It should look like:

Fig 4.6 Command file.

57) Go to Menu option Run >> Run Project (fig 4.7)

Fig 4.7 Run Menu

It will start a Runtime console window as shown in fig 4.8

Please note that a Stop button is provided in case it is a long run and the solution tends to diverge. Taking a look at the solution graph, one can easily see the trend of the index with increasing steps.
