Error: Floating Point Exception. How do I fix this?

Density Based Energy (On) Standard k-omega model Air is set to Ideal Gas Standard Initialization from the Inlet. I attached a picture of the mesh along with the mesh details section and inflation settings. Its supposed to be a supersonic nozzle leading into a wind tunnel test section to simulate a supersonic wind tunnel test section. I have 2 edge sizings as well with an element sizing of 0.001 m. I have the solver set to Double Precision. I've also tried Hybrid Initialization along with other turbulence models and its given me the same errors. How do I fix this? This might be an issue with the mesh because meshing isn't my strong suit. I'm on version 2019 R3 |

Hello Ryan,
1st of all can you check your mesh quality with the figure below (for min ortho. quality > 0.1 or max. skewness <0.95) ? Best regards, Güven |

EDIT: Yeah report quality isn't giving me the mesh skewness. I'm on version 2019 R3. |

Hello Ryan,
0.12 ortho. quality is in the "Bad" section on sprectrum. You can try to improve your ortho. quality. Did you setup "Fluent with meshing"? If it is, unfortunately i do not have enough information on it to help you. But if you set the mesh section differently, please open your mesh and view your skewness and orthogonal quality. When you select these sections, a graphic will appear below showing the distribution of the elements. When you click on the columns that showing low quality elements, it will show you their place on the existing mesh. After that, you need to use various method-sizing-inflation settings to improve the quality of those elements. There are several tutorials on youtube about that topic. Hope that it helps to you. Best regards, Güven |

Hello Ryan,
There is a huge difference between "ortho. quality in Fluent" and "ortho. quality in meshing" as you can see. Did you make polyhedra mesh in Fluent? Best regards, Güven |

Hello Ryan,
That difference usually show up when you make polyhedra mesh in fluent (e.g you've created your mesh then opened Fluent, you can convert your mesh to polyhedra with a single button in Fluent and it can not be converted back). Can you try to improve your mesh quality just a bit? After updating mesh, please check quality in Fluent again. Best regards, Güven |

Hi Ryan,
So we can continue with 2nd part: time step (ofc if you certainly sure your IC and BC). I do not know what your time step size right now. Can you decrease your time step size and try again? Btw, you are getting error while calculating right? Not initializing? Best regards, Güven |

EDIT: I have tried a time step size of 0.5 sec and 1 sec and it is still giving me the same error, and yes the errors are during the calculation process. Not initialization. |
Your max. Aspect Ratio is very high. Maybe a structured mesh would improve your overall mesh quality.

You can do the same with a bias in the sizing option for a structured mesh. I think the overall AR should be below 5. For the cells in the boundary layer 30 is okay, but you have a maximum AR of 700 which is way too high.
|
sharp angles near the boundary is a problem definitely.
is your model axis symmetric? in that case you need just half of model switch to polyhedral mesh to increase quality and decrease number of elements |
