"Temperature limited to..." at mass transfer location

andrew-c · April 11, 2023, 18:04

I am simulating water evaporation to still ambient air using species mass transfer. It works fine without the energy equation, but I get strange temperatures when energy is enabled (I need energy on).

The whole domain is initialized at 300 K, pressure inlets/outlets have 300 K specified, and walls have 0 heat flux. Yet, as evaporation occurs, the temperatures at the location of mass transfer start to drop. It starts small, but usually builds to divergence, where I get the "Temperature limited to..." error.

I could understand some evaporative cooling taking place, but I don't think that's what this is (it occurs far too fast, and shows reduced temperatures in the vapor, rather than the liquid).

Images below - Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Can you please share your case files, I am new to the topic so it would be very helpful.
