I have been trying to perform a PCM melting simulation in FLUENT, but am facing convergence issue. There is normal melting at start of simulation, but then there is a very sudden drop in temperature after which the system becomes completely unstable and goes back up to a very high temperature in the next timestep. <\/p>\n

Mesh Quality:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Minimum Orthogonal Quality = 3.52907e-01 cell 323206 on zone 9 (ID: 406547 on partition: 0) at location (-1.57583e-02 2.41255e-03 1.67722e-02)<\/p>\n

(To improve Orthogonal quality , use "Inverse Orthogonal Quality" in Fluent Meshing,<\/p>\n

where Inverse Orthogonal Quality = 1 – Orthogonal Quality)<\/p>\n
