Hello,

I'm working on developing a model of plasma jet flow for plasma cutting. I've attached figures of temperature distribution at the same time. They are the results of parallel and serial run.

As you can see the figures, the unphysical temperature is seen at the interface between subdomains for parallel run. As time goes on the simulation by parallel run blows up. For the results of one processor run(serial run), the temperature distribution looks good.

Scotch method is used for decomposition. I already checked the mesh quality but it is fine. I don't know what causes this problem. Do you have any idea about this problem?
