Chapter 1: Introduction to Using <strong>ANSYS</strong> <strong>FLUENT</strong> in <strong>ANSYS</strong> Workbench: Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in a<br />

Mixing Elbow<br />

a. Examine the convergence criteria for the equation residuals.<br />

Monitors → Residuals → Edit...<br />

i. Make sure that Plot is enabled in the Options group box.<br />

ii. Keep the default values for the Absolute Criteria of the Residuals, as shown in the Residual<br />

Monitors dialog box.<br />

iii. Click OK to close the Residual Monitors dialog box.<br />

Note<br />

By default, all variables will be monitored and checked by <strong>ANSYS</strong> <strong>FLUENT</strong> as a<br />

means to determine the convergence of the solution.<br />

b. Create a surface monitor at the outlet (pressure-outlet)<br />

It is good practice to monitor physical solution quantities in addition to equation residuals when<br />

assessing convergence.<br />
