hi,
for natural convection problems with open boundaries when the operating temperature is less than 300 K, i am getting a convergence of 10^-6. But when the operating temperature rises above 300 K i am not getting a convergence. can any one suggest me a reason ?

Can you provide more details? I wonder if your surface temperature is less than your ambient temperature in the second case.
