Are you sure about the BCs you exerted on your geometry? and I wanted the log file not the fist two iteration log

it seems that your cumulative time step error will grow up and the range of rho variation I think is very much!!!

Code:
time step continuity errors : sum local = 0.145697, global = -0.0018876, cumulative = -0.0018876
rho max/min : 79.6338 1.1739
if you're sure about the BCs, then you should check your schemes.

Sorry but i don't understand which file you need. Do you need the G file?

just run your case and get the log file:

Code:
solverName >log
and the errors appeared in your terminal.

The problem is probably related to the pressure field. I guess you have negative pressure, so the thermophysical library crashes.

check the following:
  1. check your grids, checkmesh
  2. use 1st order scheme for temporal discretization
  3. modify the tolerance tol_ from 1.0e-4 to something higher e.g. 1.0e-3, but this is not a good advice. thanks to dmoroian
  4. at last, modify the maxIter_ from 100 to something larger. you can find the implementation process in http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post179437

hope these help you

It still does not work. At this point the problem is in the BCs. Can I upload them here?
