Hello Foamers,

I posted earlier in regards to this topic, but now another problem has arisen. I keep getting a "floating point exception" error and I cannot get rid of it. I have done some serious searching and digging on the forum and the Internet and I have found nothing conclusive.

So again, my case is a cube filled with air that has a length, width and height of 1e-06m. I use manual injection to place stationary particles of SnO2 inside of the box . The closed box contains a heated bottom plate at 573K, but the air and particles all start at room temperature of 298K. I want to investigate the heat transfer through the particles and the air. I am using OF 1.7.0

The exact error I get is:

Floating point exception

So my C++ skills are minimal, but from the error I assumed there was something wrong with the DeltaT. I varied this greatly and still the error remained. I then tried making the mesh smaller and that did not work as well. I tried changing the maxCo from 0.2 to 0.9... I tried also changing the Cp and mu values to be temperature dependent and still nothing. I saw a suggestion about checking the initial conditions, but the program runs perfectly fine with it is 1m instead of 1e-06m, so it does not make sense to me that this could be the problem.

The only suggestion I found that I have not tried is to use lower order differencing. This did not make sense to me and I am not sure what it means. Maybe someone can help me in this regard.

As you can see, I am getting very frustrated and running out of ideas. So please, if you have any other suggestions I would GREATLY appreciated them. I can send you any files that you need in order to help fix the problem.

Thank you in advance for your help and assistance in the matter. I really look forward to hearing from someone,

Jen
