Species Under-Relaxation Factors

Hello,
I am currently simulating a laminar flame with a gri2.11 mechanism in fluent. I've got some convergence problems: The residuals of the fuel CH4 won't go below 0.001 and they are oscilating alot. Do you think it's wise to use under-relaxation factors for the species equations? Which under-relaxation factors would you suggest? It would be really nice, if you could help me. Greetings, Johannes. |

I would experiment with 0.2 to 0.5 for the under relaxation factors. Are you using first order discretization? Maybe higher order would help or not.
