Combustion problems: solver divergence occurs when turning on high temperature patch

nishant · February 2, 2015, 13:01

hello,
Im currently working on unsteady combustion of methane/air mixture with equivalence ratio of 0.75. I used the fluent guide to implement the two step process. my cold flow solution has converged and all ready. But as soon as i patch a region with high temperature and small concentration of products, I get divergence in solver and also a floating point exception. Really need help.
Thank you in advance

Hi,

have you tried to reduce your URFs? Usually i set the one for density at about 0.3

Hi,
For how much temperature, you are patching?
