esp-r@lists.strath.ac.uk<BR><B>Betreff:</B> [esp-r] Problem with airflow
network<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Hello everyone,<BR><BR>I'm setting up a fairly rudimentary airflow
network, in which two zone air nodes exchange air with a third node that is
intended to mix the air and send it back to the nodes. A fixed volume rate
component moves the air. The "mixing" node was assigned to known boundary
conditions of P=0 Pa, T=20C. However, after several tries, I continue to
get the following message for each timestep:<BR><BR>Please check (in the
following order)
that:
<BR> - each node has some flow path to a boundary pressure
and
<BR> - iteration convergence control is not too
strict.
<BR> Day 2 Month 1 Hour 24.000: 100 iterations;
flows solution failed <BR><BR>I assume the first issue is triggering the
message. I would have thought that having the mixing node at known
conditions would alleviate this error. <BR><BR>Any thoughts? (I
realize this could be accomplished in the operations file, but I want something
more sophisticated eventually.)<BR><BR>The afn file is below.<BR><BR>Thanks very
much!<BR><BR>Liam O'Brien
