4.9. Solution Options

The Solution Options block in the Fuego region is where you define what equations to solve, sub-models to use, and nonlinear and linear solver configurations. The most commonly used commands in this block are:

  • What equations you want to solve

  • What linear solver to use for each equation

  • The problem coordinate system

  • Source terms for your equations

  • What smoothing method to use for the pressure solve

  • What advection methods to use for each transport equation

  • Nonlinear iteration settings (tolerances and iteration counts)

  • EDC combustion model parameters

  • Turbulence model specifications

  • Buoyancy model specifications
