Rhie-Chow Unsteady Scale
For unsteady simulations, based on the value of Limiting Acoustic-CFL specified in the Segregated Flow model, the model computes the scale to adjust numerical dissipation and so reduce or even eliminate spurious numerical noise due to the insufficient Rhie-Chow dissipation at very small time-steps.
Make sure that the scale is of value 1 in the regions where physical sound sources are generated; these must be preserved accurately. Make sure the scale is less than 1 (or much less than 1) outside these regions, which should include the region where spurious noise occurs—typically at larger cells or at cell-size jump interfaces when the time-step is very small.
  • To extend the region where the Rhie-Chow scale is 1 (no numerical corrections applied), lower the value of Limiting Acoustic-CFL.
  • To increase the region where the solver applies numerical corrections to mitigate spurious noise, increase the value of Limiting Acoustic-CFL.
