/*error msg ond*/

this is your reply to one of post

Overflow error means the solver has diverged big-time. You need to improve the numerical stability. This could be improve mesh quality, better initial conditions, improperly set boundary conditions or physics. On rare occasions you need double precision numerics

what do you mean by improve numerical stability?

for initial I used steady state res file and started run which completed 100 iterations then stopped solver. After I continued same run but ends with above error.

i used expression for varying pressure at inlet
memory allocation factor= 1.1

Thanks in advace.

Doing CFD without knowing what numerical stability is like driving a car with your eyes closed. You are not going to get very far. I strongly recommend you get a numerical modelling textbook and get a feel for how numerical equations are solved so you understand these concepts.

Have you considered your mesh quality? How suitable is your initial condition? Are your boundary conditions and physics correct? Have you tried double precision numerics? Have you tried a smaller time step?

i did meshing in icem cfd with mesh quality as given below

Min = 0.000696609, max = 1, mean = 0.673647743127
3851746 elements with the "Quality" diagnostic
0 elements for which this diagnostic is undefined
Histogram of Quality values
0.95 -> 1.0 : 578492 (15.019%)
0.9 -> 0.95 : 572927 (14.874%)

0.05 -> 0.1 : 59865 (1.554%)
0.0 -> 0.05 : 20685 (0.537%)


due to model complexicity i can not improve mesh quality. i used prism meshing.

by using this i gave steady state run

this are images of run.

i used k-epsilon first but error occurs so as read on forum i changed timesteps to smaller one with double precision but then also it fails.

at inlet condition its considering as opening type boundary instead of inlet one.

This is more than 6% with quality <0.2 (which is a minimum for CFX). So that could actually be a problem.
What about the other mesh paramters? Min angle, mesh expansion factor, aspect ratio? Where are these bad cells positioned? Have you check where your max residuals are?

Have you tried a smaller time step?

sorry for late reply.
there was problem in physics. now its solved. run under progress.

i gave run for total time= 10 sec and time steps=50*0.1,25*0.2

do i have to run for even for smaller time steps?

The normal practise for CFD analysis is:
1) Set the basic simulation up so all the physics seems to be modelled and doinjg believeable things.
2) Do sensitivity analysis on all adjustable parameters to get the simulation accurate.

It looks like you have completed step 1. Now you have to do step 2. This means you need to show your convergence, mesh, time step size, advection scheme and any other adjustable parameters are correctly set to give an accurate simulation.
