Problem with densities

Hi,
I have a problem which does not affect convergence but makes it very slow. The pressure is a set parameter and testing different temperature values, the error is the same. What could be the problem? Error that comes up is: time-step limited by negative densities, recovering ..... Thanks in adavance |

Hi melodia,
This time-step limitation rarely occurs, but it can be due to very high mass flux out of the cell such that density in a cell goes negative while solving the density transport equation (mass conservation). What is the max_cfl_u in your simulation? |
