Problem with divergence

I'm trying to model a single wheel in free stream air within fluent.
I'm using the realizable k-epsilon turbulence model but when I run my calculation for around 20 iterations, at around the 6th one it says: 'Divergence detected in AMG solver: epsilon' Anyone got any ideas on what this means? I'd much appreciate the help! |

If you are sure your case is set up right, try the following:
Do a mesh check. Is your skewness acceptable? Boundary Conditions. Are your k & e values suitable. http://support.esi-cfd.com/esi-users/turb_parameters/ Initialization. Try the hybrid (FMG) initialization. Underrelaxation Factors. try using 0.5 for both k & e, then ramp them up to 0.9 after 50~100 iterations. Also decrease timestep or Courant Number (dependent on solver) Hopefully one of these will work Stu |

Thanks alot Stu, it worked
 but now, after around 12 iterations, i get the message, turbulent viscosity limited to viscosity ratio of 1.000000e+05 in (a number) cells And that message just keeps appearing for every iteration after the 12th one or so. |

Does the number of cells it occurs in decrease? Also, which of the above solutions caused your simulation to run?
Maybe try turning on wall functions. You will find this in your turbulence settings |

erm my skewness and mesh was fine so I just tried out the initialization, because im following up some work that was done before and I am trying to keep the boundary conditions the same as the work done before.
Also the number of cells it occurs in increases. |

Maybe try decreasing the Turbulent Viscosity UnderRelaxation Factor. Also could try higher order schemes for turbulence terms.
What p-v scheme are you using? Stu |

In material, what are you using for the air? If you are running incompressible then are you using incompressible ideal gas for the density?

when i tried turnin the wall function on, after 95 iterations or so i get this message again..
Error: Divergence detected in AMG solver: epsilon Error Object: #f and the p-v scheme is the simplec method |

Could be due to huge gradients across adjacent cells. Try refining around your body and using higher order numerics for turbulence.

I am trying to simulate natural convection in vertical channel using K-epsilon realizabale model in fluent. but the error "divergence detected in amg solver: epsilon" is coming. Please tell me how to get rid of this. i have tried all the methods discussed before. Thanks Saad |

Hi, could you please help me with the following issues?
# Divergence detected in AMG solver: pressure correction -> Turning off correction scaling! # Divergence detected in AMG solver: pressure correction -> Increasing relaxation sweeps! # You may try the enhanced divergence recovery with (rpsetvar 'amg/protective-enhanced? #t) Error: Divergence detected in AMG solver: pressure correction Error: Divergence detected in AMG solver: pressure correction Error Object: #f |
