Non Convergence of 3D Heat transfer cfd problem

I am trying to perform cfd analysis on 3D rectangular cavity problem with a hot and cold opposite sides with a temp difference of 10 deg and the other 2 sides being adiabatic.
I did a couple of runs with the following parameters: 1) Aspect ratio - 25:1 (H/L), Secondary Aspect ratio - 1:2 (W/L), Ra = 92,625, vertical (90deg) and horizontal orientation(0deg) of the cavity. I was able to achieve convergence in both the cases 2) I changed the secondary aspect ratio to 5:1 and did the run again. This time around i could not achieve convergence for 0deg orientation. I am using fluent to perform the analysis. I cannot describe the entire simulation parameters here. But if someone could let me know, by their experience, the parameters I can target to achieve convergence. I am trying to get constant flux on the heat and cold sides for over atleast 100 iterations. I would appreciate your help in this regard. |

Sounds you are facing quite a classical problem. You may want to look for papers already published. I am not sure what the number is. Ra or Gr??? You will be able to find the result with the same non-dimensionalized number from the papers.
Or from my past experience, the flow may not be steady but transient or there my be some bifurcations. Good luck!! -Joe |

Forgot to mention. CFX was one of the three got into consideration.

Sorry!
This shouldn't be here. Should be under Re: FLUENT/CFX/STARCD as CFD modelers - I've been too busy posting messages. -Joe |
