15.9. Hybrid NITA Advanced Variant

The advanced variant of hybrid NITA may provide better solution stability for cases with strong inter-equation coupling such as highly viscous flow, compressible flow, and moving and deforming meshes. By default, the variant uses 6 outer iterations and does not require the explicit instability detector.

To use the advanced hybrid NITA solver:

  1. Enable beta feature access as described in Introduction.

  2. In the Solution Methods task page, enable the Non-Iterative Time Advancement option and click the Options... button next to it.

  3. In the NITA Options dialog box that opens, enable Advanced.

The performance of the hybrid NITA solver with the advanced variant is comparable to that with the conservative variant.

You can also enable the advanced option of the hybrid NITA solve using the text user interface (TUI):
