Some strange thing happens while I'm running one of my simulations. I'm running my job in parallel. Some of the grids ran fine, but others at different times produce such a strange error with extremely huge alpha field numbers. How come is it possible? I'm using interFoam solver.

Interesting is, that for larger time-step simulation ran fine.

Below please find output from my file:

Courant Number mean: 0.0097294 max: 9.31111
Interface Courant Number mean: 0.00150258 max: 6.29323
Time = 4.681

MULES: Solving for alpha1
Liquid phase volume fraction = 0.0377748 Min(alpha1) = -19730.1 Max(alpha1) = 17562
MULES: Solving for alpha1
Liquid phase volume fraction = 0.0377758 Min(alpha1) = -59502.8 Max(alpha1) = 58261.1
MULES: Solving for alpha1
Liquid phase volume fraction = 0.0377768 Min(alpha1) = -162905 Max(alpha1) = 183859
MULES: Solving for alpha1
