Here, the problem is that the critical temperature for hydrogen is ~33 K, (below which a liquid state exists) but a gaseous state is assumed by the modelling.  If the simulation temperatures are above the critical temperature try limiting the Fluent minimum temperature  to a value above the critical point.    If the inlet temperature is below the critical point (h2 is in a  liquid phase), the phase state must be set to liquid as follows:   define\/user-defined\/real-gas-models> set-phase Select vapor phase (else liquid)?
