Hi everybody,

I'm going to solve a simple flow over flat plate and I'm going to have heat equation and buoyancy effects in my flow. My domain size is 1500(height)x6000x6000 [m] and my first grid center is located 0.03 away from the ground. I have periodic lateral BC, Symmetry top BC and no-slip wall BC.

I can simulate the flow when I have a neutral case but with temperature it diverges very fast. Do you have any idea what could be wrong?

Note that with this size Grashof number becomes enormous, but I don't know if that's the problem.

I appreciate all your suggestions
