In order to enhance the solving performance of the SIMPLER algorithm for three-dimensional fluid flow problems
a fuzzy control method was introduced to automatically adjust the value of the velocity under-relaxation factor. The ratio of the maximum momentum residuals of two successive iteration levels is used as the input variable of the fuzzy control
and the variation of the velocity under-relaxation factor is taken as the output variable of the fuzzy control. Based on the changing trend of the maximum momentum residual
the velocity under-relaxation factor could be adjusted for accelerating the iteration convergence. Finally
the fuzzy control method was evaluated by solving three classic fluid flow problems. It could be concluded that when the initial under-relaxation factor is set at its most unfavorable value
the convergence rate of the fuzzy control method is about 5-30 times of the fixed relaxation factor method; however
when the initial under-relaxation factor is at its optimum value
the ratio of the iteration number of the fuzzy control method to the fixed relaxation factor method is 0.7-2.0 and there is a little difference for the convergence rates between the two methods. The SIMPLER algorithm using fuzzy control method could not only always get solutions with high convergence rate under different initial under-relaxation factors
but also possess much better robustness. Therefore
this research is of great significance in improving the solving performance of the SIMPLER algorithm for three-dimensional fluid flow problems.
