this error tells the maximum number of iterations the solver is reached probably in e equation solving.why this is occuring?
Im engaged in this problem but it don't want to be resolved!

Hi

I am also having the same problem.
Did you find the cause of its occurrence ?

Thanks
Anant

hi dear Anant.I did some changes in fvSchemes and fvSolutions.using CrankNicholson .5;and div(phi,U) Gauss upwind; is better than Euler and linear respectively.
a very important thing is boundary conditions and initial conditions.I changed initial condition and increased it because it had made a supersonic flow at inlet but it must be subsonic in my problem.
and also try another solver and change maxIter for e in specieThermo.c (I think it was there) can lead to more stability.
whats the problem you want to model?comp or incomp?

Dear Ehsan

Thanks a lot for your help. I tweaked the initial conditions and it's
working now.

I am solving compressible flow between rotating cylinders using rhoCentralFoam.

Dear Anant
Im working with rhoCentralFoam and rhoPimpleFoam.
Im interested in the problem you are working on.could you send me your case please?
Thanks.
