Hi,
I'm trying to model a room with some inlets and outlets which there are some heat sources included inside the room. I have set boundary conditions and everything seemed working fine. But when i refined my old mesh I couldn't get any convergency.
My residuals plot is attached.

solution crashes in Iterations between 200 to 350. log file has been attached. in Time=340 time step continuity errors starts growing up and in Time= 348 its like this:

time step continuity errors : sum local = 7.54708e+51, global = -4.0203e+37, cumulative = -4.0203e+37

What is going wrong?
