I am confused as to why the continuity residuals are not falling . This is an enclosed box containing battery cells with time dependent heat generation and natural convection. There&#8217;s an additional heater whose source values are modeled with a udf using heating table values. The step size for each Time step is 1 second. The mesh quality parameters are 0.55 max skewness and minimum orthogonal quality equal to 0.3. I am unsure why the continuity solution is not converging, I am using K omega sst viscous model. Theres no fluid entering or leaving the box and the gaps for the fluid are in millimeters.Can someone help me as to how to get this solution to converge?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-288602","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["265921","5976"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.206.193.154"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["927"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["288602"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27796"],"_bbp_engagement":["5976","265921"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["13"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["289651"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["289651"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-06-20 23:58:33"]},"test":"mxa6990mavs-uta-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/288602","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/288602\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=288602"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
