hey all, after giving all boundary condition for gas combustion, i got following error during solver. Please help me to understand this error.

Anybody are experienced in this? any suggestion on this problem?

What type of material properties are you using?

[brajh11]

For Gas Air mixture i used reacting mixture, material group: gas phase combustion, mixture properties: ideal mixture

For O2, CO2, H20,...material properties: ideal gas, NASA format

This problem has appeared when i increased heat transfer (heat flux) for 1000- times (from -300 W/m2 to -30 000 W/m2) for wall boundary conditions...

Combustion models are always hard to keep stable. I suspect you will need smaller timesteps to resolve the combustion transient. But that's only a guess.

i solved my problem steady state not transient.

For Timescale Control i have changed from Auto Timescale to Physical Timescale 0.008s but now the solver said:

OK, that error message means you have improved things but it still cannot converge. You need smaller time steps.
