Convergence problem!!- Pressure based solver

raviteja gonnabathula · October 29, 2019, 04:15

I'm using pressure based solver to simulate a hyper-sonic combustion chamber.
K-epsilon turbulence model
energy equation - on
species - Hydrogen-air
while solving the continuity equation trend goes high with respect to no of iterations,I have tried the following methods suggested by many users in CFD forums and fluent guide too
1. reducing courant number
2. reducing URF
3. refining the mesh quality
4. changing the turbulence models
5. switching off energy equation for first 50 iterations
none of the above methods solved my problem..
I Hope your suggestions might solve...

Thanks for your reply
Boundary conditions:
air inlet:
u=438 m/s
t=1200 k
p=260000pa
fuel inlet:
u=1200m/s
t=248 k
p=460000
