Exceeded iterations for high molar masses.

I have been running a simulation for quite a while. I tried different pressures, slightly different geometries, boundary conditions. I used Hydrogen and never ran into problems. Now, I wanted to repeat the simulations in Argon. So I changed the thermo properties and the simulation crashes always, no matter what I try. I identified the error to be connected to the molar mass. With all parameters the same but the molar mass the error occurs when the molar mass exceeds 8.
The error is posted below. It always occurs at the second time step. I tried various time steps and initial conditions. I tried to run the simulation with hydrogen first and then switched the molar mass. I played with the grid size. I used OpenFoam 2.2.1, sonicFoam with thermoType { type hePsiThermo; mixture pureMixture; transport const; thermo eConst; equationOfState perfectGas; specie specie; energy sensibleInternalEnergy; } If needed I am happy to give more information about the setup. I am sorry if my question might be silly as I am not an expert in OpenFoam. But thank you very much for your help in advance.

After going through all the different input parameters i realized that I set the initial internal temperature too low. This is already indicated by the Thermo function failing.
High molar masses seem to be more sensitive to temperature. |
