Is it able to solve turbomachinery using density-based solver in Fluent?

      I am currently working on an axial turbine simulation in Ansys Fluent and attempting to compare results between the pressure-based and density-based solvers.

      Using the pressure-based solver, the case runs smoothly and converges without issue. However, when I switch to the density-based solver using the same case setup, the solution consistently diverges during the solve process.

      Is there a known limitation or recommended approach when using the density-based solver for turbomachinery applications such as axial turbines? Could you advise whether Fluent supports density-based solver for this type of simulation, and if so, what adjustments might be necessary to ensure stability?

      Thank you in advance for your assistance.
