Your simulation is not converged. Have you looked here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Wiki/Ansys...gence_criteria

Also output some backup files as the simulation progresses. You can load them in CFD-Post and it may help you diagnose what is wrong.

Have you looked here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Wiki/Ansys...gence_criteria Also output some backup files as the simulation progresses. You can load them in CFD-Post and it may help you diagnose what is wrong.
