Hi, I am trying to model blood flow in a cylindrical elastic blood vessel. I am using velocity inlet and pressure outlet boundary conditions. The program does not converge. According to my search, i need to use special solver settings. I have tried many things in the last two weeks without success. Program finds solution for the rigid case. But for the elastic case, I cannot succeed convergence.

Hi Kamil,

Try using the Fully Coupled Solver instead of the Segregated Solver. It sometimes works better when the structure is soft. Also, try ramping up the inlet velocity from zero to its desired value. That should help with convergence.

Thank you very much Mr. Nagi for fast reply. Bu t I do not know how to ramp up the velocity. Could you inform me about that. Thanks in advance.

If it’s a stationary analysis you can do that by multiplying the inlet velocity with a new parameter that increases gradually from zero to one using Parametric Sweep (see documentation for details). If it’s a transient analysis you can multiply the inlet velocity with a step function that increases gradually from zero to one.
