Hello Everyone,
I am trying to run a spray combustion simulation using LES. After running for ~5000 time steps (w/ dt=1e-06) the code gets stuck at :

Cloud: fuelCloud1 injector: model1
Added 1 new parcels

The code gets stuck at this for hours. The mesh quality is Ok as may be seen from this,
Code:

            }
        }
    }
The mesh does not have a wall and the particles are set to escape the boundaries.

Please share your views on this problem.

Thanks


P.S: I am using OpenFOAM 5.x.

I had this problem in manual injection. I think it is unable to handle when there are more particles. Try to reduce the number of parcelspersecond. In my case it worked.!

Thanks for replying! I will try it asap but I am using ~1.27 million parcels per second now as you may see in the file above, is it too large?


If somebody has other suggestions, please share.
