Reaction Rate in UDF
 

hello all I try to write a code for a raction rate to use as UDF, but when I iterate it in fluent I see the following Error.

Error: divergence detected in AMG solver: species-0 Error Object: ()

I change the URF to arrive the minimum but this error dont disappear.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance

The code is:

Re: Reaction Rate in UDF
 

This chemistry looks stiff. Try using the DEFINE_NET_REACTION rate with the Stiff Chemistry Laminar solver.

Hi cg very Thanks

But when I use it have some another error from my code. The rete is nonlinear and I use "DEFINE_VR_RATE". Could you help me please, becouse I dont use "DEFINE_NET_REACTION" yet in a code.

The reaction I use is nonlinear.

Thanks in advance
