Hi you all,

I am experiencing some troubles modelling a problem for a research I'm working on.

The geometry is quite "simple", it consists on a cylindrical pipe with a cylinder inserted perpendicular to its axis. The cylinder simulates a glow plug, so I set its surface temperature equal to that of the plug. I am using a k-epsilon turbulent model and setting the intensity = 10% and length scale = 0.038D_pipe at both the inlet and outlet.
However, the solution is not converging and I do not know how to solve it.

Thank you all in advance!
