PRECOND HYPERCOMP εpre |
This keyword may be used to apply matrix pre-conditioning to improve (or allow) convergence for flows at low Mach numbers. While it theoretically may be used at all Mach numbers, it increases the CPU time required for each time step, and is therefore recommended for use only when the Mach number is less than about 0.05.
The input parameter εpre is an artificial compressibility factor. The recommended value is
Additional details on the implementation of the pre-conditioning scheme, and results for various test cases, are presented by Liu and Ramakrishnan [Liu, Z., and Ramakrishnan, S. V. (2004) "Preconditioned Upwind Schemes for Simulation of Low Speed Flows on Hybrid Grids," AIAA Paper 2004-1268].
This keyword may only be used when a physical time is specified with the CFL# keyword, not a CFL number. It also may not be used with the HLLE scheme (RHS HLLE).
