Odd residual behaviour for Two Layer K Epsilon -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

As results for realizable K-epsilon with two-layer wall function were way off, I'm currently using the standard "Two Layer K Epsilon" turbulence model. The results are fine but my residuals always follow a similar behaviour: After normal behaviour for the first 100-500 iterations, the kinetic energy and afterwards the dissipation rate residuals start rising and fluctuating greatly while the others will no longer drop. Anyone have an idea what might be causing this? Many thanks in advance.
