Solution diverges at high Reynolds numbers and fine grid in COMSOL
 
Hi, I'm using COMSOL to simulate heat transfer of a flow over a series of cylinders.
When I use Reynolds numbers bigger than 100, the solution only converges with normal mesh and it diverges with finer meshes!

It diverges with following grid at Re=200 and converges with Re=100!

And It will be converged with this grid:

And it makes me unable to check mesh dependency.

Is there any reason?
