Simulations crashing

Post by Marcin »

Hello,

I am running a buoyant gas mixing calculation in v.4.0.2

The mesh is tetrahedral

Whenever I run a calculation I have either a crash with an empty error file generated,
or the velocity pressure coupling diverges to infinity, pressure however remains.
Sometimes after 2-3 iterations, sometimes after 3000 iterations.

There are free inlet/outlet BCs at different elevations, which are expected to reverse flow direction after some time of simulation.

Any ideas?
It is already a month since I am trying to fix it.

Hello,

Did you check the "BPG" and "FAQ" sections in the Documentation part of the web-site ?

Could you otherwise provide details as recommended in the forum usage guidelines ?

Regards,

Yvan
