Hi I have a problem by running my simulation (chtmultiregion), the simulation aborts after trying to solve the velocity in y-direction with over 1000 iterations.

Code:
Solving for solid region ss17
DICPCG:  Solving for T, Initial residual = 0.0170806, Final residual = 7.153049e-07, No Iterations 5
DICPCG:  Solving for T, Initial residual = 0.005342712, Final residual = 3.099503e-07, No Iterations 5
Min/max T:min(T) [0 0 0 1 0 0 0] 310.9295 max(T) [0 0 0 1 0 0 0] 310.9513
ExecutionTime = 47858.43 s  ClockTime = 48705 s

Region: domain0 Courant Number mean: 0.007054461 max: 0.2994233
Region: domain3 Courant Number mean: 0.02050585 max: 0.2296986
deltaT = 0.004454343
Time = 162.688

DILUPBiCG:  Solving for Uy, Initial residual = 3.892324e-05, Final residual = 3.410788e+97, No Iterations 1001
DILUPBiCG:  Solving for Uz, Initial residual = 1.160019e-05, Final residual = 6.464186e-09, No Iterations 3

GAMG:  Solving for p, Initial residual = 1, Final residual = 0.008969165, No Iterations 3

I m using the GAMG solver for velocity, maybe I can solve the problem by using an other, but which one?

My solvers (fvSchemes):

Code:
 solvers
{
    rho
    {
        solver          PCG
        preconditioner  DIC;
        tolerance       1e-8;
        relTol          0;
    };
    p
    {
        solver           GAMG;
        tolerance        1e-8;
        relTol           0.01;

        smoother         GaussSeidel;

        cacheAgglomeration true;
        nCellsInCoarsestLevel 10;
        agglomerator     faceAreaPair;
        mergeLevels      1;
    };
    pFinal
    {
        solver           GAMG;
        tolerance        1e-8;
        relTol           0;

        smoother         GaussSeidel;

        cacheAgglomeration true;
        nCellsInCoarsestLevel 10;
        agglomerator     faceAreaPair;
        mergeLevels      1;
    };
    U
    {
        solver           PBiCG;
        preconditioner   DILU;
        tolerance        1e-08;
        relTol           0;
    };

    h
    {
        solver           PBiCG;
        preconditioner   DILU;
        tolerance        1e-08;
        relTol           0.1;
    };
    hFinal
    {
        solver           PBiCG;
        preconditioner   DILU;
        tolerance        1e-08;
        relTol           0;
    };

    k
    {
        solver           PBiCG;
        preconditioner   DILU;
        tolerance        1e-08;
        relTol           0;
    };
    epsilon
    {
        solver           PBiCG;
        preconditioner   DILU;
        tolerance        1e-08;
        relTol           0;
    };
    R
    {
        solver           PBiCG;
        preconditioner   DILU;
        tolerance        1e-08;
        relTol           0;
    };
}

PISO
{
    momentumPredictor   off;
    nOuterCorrectors     1;
    nCorrectors     2;
    nNonOrthogonalCorrectors 1;
    pRefPoint       (-0.081 -0.0257 8.01);
    pRefValue       1e5;
}


PIMPLE
{
    momentumPredictor   on;
    nCorrectors         2;
    nNonOrthogonalCorrectors 0;
}
Or changing the discretisations?

(fvSchemes):
Code:
ddtSchemes
{
    default Euler;
    //default CoEuler phi rho 0.1;
}

gradSchemes
{
    default         Gauss linear;
//    grad(U)         cellLimited Gauss linear 1;
}

divSchemes
{
    default         none;
    div(phi,U)      Gauss upwind;
    div(phiU,p)     Gauss linear;
    div(phi,h)      Gauss upwind;
    div(phi,k)      Gauss upwind;
    div(phi,epsilon) Gauss upwind;
    div(phi,R)      Gauss upwind;
    div(R)          Gauss linear;
    div((muEff*dev2(grad(U).T()))) Gauss linear;
}

laplacianSchemes
{
    default         none;
    laplacian(muEff,U) Gauss linear limited 0.333;
    laplacian((rho*(1|A(U))),p) Gauss linear limited 0.333;
    laplacian(alphaEff,h) Gauss linear limited 0.333;
    laplacian(DkEff,k) Gauss linear limited 0.333;
    laplacian(DepsilonEff,epsilon) Gauss linear limited 0.333;
    laplacian(DREff,R) Gauss linear limited 0.333;
}

interpolationSchemes
{
    default         linear;
}

snGradSchemes
{
    default         limited 0.333;
}

fluxRequired
{
    default         no;
    p;
}
Thank you in advance.
Best regards.
