The inlet temperature of the liquid is 310 deg celsius and the vapor temperature is assumed to be equal to the saturation temperature (~340 deg) throughout the channel. I am using the Eulerian RPI boiling model and have set a constant saturation temperature which I have hand-calculated from steam tables at the specified pressure (147 bar). I found that the residuals diverge when I solve the simulation, leading to a point exception error.<\/p>\n<p>I think this error occurs when the liquid temperature increases above saturation as when I only remove the heat flux boundary condition, there&#8217;s no error and the residuals converge. Also, the residuals converge when I set the saturation temperature in the multiphase model to a high value (so that the specified heat flux doesn&#8217;t change the liquid&#8217;s phase). This has given me the confidence to say that the saturation temperature is causing the convergence issues but I have no idea how to resolve this.
