well at the inlet you spesified the mixture to be
ch4 = 1

h20 = 0
o2 = 0.232
n2 = constrant = (1 - all the above)

you cant have a mixture that adds up to more than 1; you need to...

in v11 cfxmesh can do only tetra witout periodicity; how did you manage to create a sweep or hexa mesh :confused:

since the files you send me the other day did you create a new model with symetry?

slow the mesh movement compared to the timestep used and check the mesh quality during squashing. as i told you stop simulation, re-mesh and restart.
