How to Monitor Convergence using Residuals in Ansys Fluent - Lesson 3

The CFD simulation is said to be “done” only if the solution is fully converged. There are several ways to check the convergence of a solution in Ansys Fluent, and one way is to monitor the residuals. In this lesson, we will understand what residuals are and how we can plot and use residual plots for monitoring the convergence of a CFD simulation.
