Divergence in amg-solver: uds-0
 

Hello,
I am working on mixing tank simulation. I have developed the flow field for the tank but having problems when using User defined Scalars. i am providing uds source through udf.
Divergence detected in amg solver: uds-0
Divergence detected in amg solver: uds-1
Divergence detected in amg solver: uds-2 :(

I am using urf 0.9 for all. Need help
Thanks in advance.

Dear Dranzer

I think the problem is not due to Source1, Source2 and Source3. You can check it by putting them in off mode. UDF code for source 1, 2 and 3 are correct.

The problem is due to return 0. It should be return m_lg.

Hi Vaze,
Thanks for the reply. The problem for me is that even though I am assigning the Scalars in liquid phase, Fluent is still solving it for the regions where there is no liquid. Thats why I returned 0 for that regions, I know my approach is wrong. Can you suggest any other alternatives.
I tried return m_lg but it is not working

If you initialized UDS0, UDS1 and UDS2 all to zero, the calculated sources are indetermined (0/0).

So if that is the case, initialize them at a non-zero value, and your problem might go away.

I am first developing the flow field and then introducing the scalars and then I am patching the zones to a non-zero value for the scalars. Should I initialize them?

If you are patching the zones to a non-zero value, you are initializing them to a non-zero value. Patching is a form of initializing.
So my advice was not helpful this time!

Dear Drazner

m_lg will transfer the correct value to mass equation. It may not solve your problem.

Can you please tell me How do you assign particular scalar to liquid phase?

Number of times I faced same issue, that when I changed UDS for all zones from liquid zones, I have not observed the UDS diffusivity for solids in material panel. You first make all the scalars to zero and then make proper changes.
