A case was run using the Eulerian model with the Volume Fraction Equation deselected to get an initial solution. The URFs were kept to 0.3 with a first order discretization. Somewhy, after around 500 iterations, the pressure starts to peak and the simulation experiences convergence difficulties and crashes with a Floating Point Exception. Any insights on this peaking pressure?
The mesh is a uniform hexahedral with a y+ greater than 30 as recommended for boiling. For a 1.9x0.25x188mm channel there are approximately 500,000 elements, already refined after previous versions.Â
