For relaxation factors below 1.0, the old value //X(old)// will be mixed with the new result to a certain extend, e.g. 30% for //relax// = 0.7. \\ + This method ensures, that short-time numerical oscillations will not crash the complete system. + + ENVI-met realises, if problems with the TKE-e equation system occur and dynamically adjusts the relaxation factor until the problem is solved or a factor of 0.1 is reached. ​
