I have a problem in modelling solar still. I am using VOF model with energy equation on, k epsilon RNG for flow and DTRM for radiation. My mesh elements look fine (avg element quality .85) but my solution is not converging at all. I initially wanted to go for transient simulation but then have decided to go for steady state due to the time constraint. Please help me with some solution that i can try. Is there some error in my solution initialization? I have tried a lot of things but either temperature or viscosity or momentum gets diverged at some point or the other

I have been following similar steps as stated in a tutorial on youtube.
