Hello!

I have a multiphase simulation with an energy model and a moving mesh.

this error occurs only when i activate the energy model, because the eulerian solver and the moving mesh works fine.

I have tried this:

1. improve the quality of the mesh
2. lower the time step

thank you for your comments

I have looked at some of the suggestions that data very out of touch with reality can give this error.

I guess it could be the way I set up my materials as there are 3 of them and in some properties I use polynomial and in others constant but it is not the same for any of the materials.

This is likely from how you defined you material properties. I have seen it in the past that when the properties are defined incorrectly you will get these computational errors across many equations.

For the polynomial equations, make sure you have enough significant figures for each coefficient (at least 6+ significant figures). For all materials make sure you have defined the material properties through the entire range of expected temperatures or other variables. If the property goes outside the range provided it may default to 0 causing numerous errors in the solver. Finally, make sure your units are correct for each material property. Datasheets can often use different units than Fluent.

Also, double check how you are defining the thermal boundary conditions. Incorrect units can lead to multiple orders of magnitude difference in the thermal boundaries. Finally, check how you are initializing the domain and make sure all your boundaries and VOF phases are being intialized correctly.
