Hi there,
We are performing analysis on rectangular microchannel
Geometry: 40mm long x 0.24mm wide x 0.5mm height

Working Fluid: Water-liquid and water-vapour
Models:-
Multiphase: Eulerian, RPI boiling model
Energy equation: on
Viscous: k-epsilon, RNG, Standard wall functions, mixture.

Boundary Conditions: temp=323k, Inlet velocity=0.826m/s at 1 bar pressure
Outlet(pressure outlet): water liquid(temp=373.15), water vapour(temp=373.15)

3 sides wall heated(copper wall) heat flux=500kw/m^2 (bottom, left, right walls), top wall(polycarbonate Laxen) heat flux=0

Methods:-
Scheme: Coupled
Gradient: Least squares cell-based
Pressure: Second order
Momentum: Second order upwind
Volume fraction: QUICK
Turbulent Kinetic Energy: Second order upwind
Turbulent Dissipation Rate: Second order upwind
Energy: Second order upwind

During Initialization I am facing an error indicating the Turbulent viscosity ratio is limited to e5 in cells..... and as the calculation proceeds the cells reduces

after 500 iterations I got this error:

Calculation complete.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thank you

multiphase model should be used here is homogenous

What is homogeneous model?

I still have fundamental question, can we use RPI wall boiling model for microchannels where the width can be as small as 0.2 mm?
