I'm modeling species transport where there is air in a volume at the bottom, and then connected to this volume are a few different channels with helium at different temperature. I have put in a polynomial diffusion coefficient (T dependent) so I want to see how the air diffuses up given that the different channels are at different tempeartures. I'm using nita but after about 100 iterations I get divergence in the amg solver: species. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to avoid this? I lowered all my relaxations to around 0.4 thanks in advance

maybe if you change the viscosity model, that be solved. I have the same problem (for a similar case) and when I changed my viscosity model and the boundary conditions, I've got no error

Hi everybody
I'm modeling the plume of an industrial stack with fluent, to find the concentration of SO2 in a special distance of stack, and there are 9 components that coming out from the stack.
the temperature of stack is 141 degree of centigrade and the ambient temperature is 15 degree.
when I define just SO2 for the outlet of stack, the solution will be converge. but when I inter all of components, at final it's diverged and I see these messages:
divergence of temperature
divergence of species-1
divergence of species-2

could you help me please? I think I make a mistake in the definition of mixture that comes out from the stack.
