I am trying to model the rise of a cryogenic vapor bubble in its liquid. The vapor bubble is more than the saturated temperature. I give the inlet for bubbles as inlet BC or by defining a source point.
I get an overflow exception after 2 coefficient loops are over and If I use inlet BC, program runs, it stops after some time 100 iterations.
I am not able to figure out the mistake, help required to run the program.

Hey brother,


I am also having the same prob. hav u found soln.?

please tell me . I tried by reducing auto time scale and making it 0.1 times and 0.01 times . respec. but only minor improvement i saw. solver stuck at around 100 iters.


Thanks in advance

The FAQ discusses a lot more than just changing time step size. What about all the other things to look at?

are the equations for k- epsilon model different if we use dispersed eulerian multiphase model or VOF model?
