Hi Foamers,
I am doing simulations on 2D rectangular channel by using steady state solver. I prepared my solver by modifying "simpleFoam" solver. The dimensions (length*breadth) of the channel are 0.143*0.0017 (m). My geometry has 500*10 grids in x- and y- directions respectively. When i run my solver with 500*10 grids, it is giving good results. But when I refine grids (say 600*15) or increase the dimensions of the channel, after running few iterations it is giving the following error.

Error:
Code:
#0  Foam::error::printStack(Foam::Ostream&) in "/opt/openfoam211/platforms/linuxGccDPOpt/lib/libOpenFOAM.so"
#1  Foam::sigFpe::sigHandler(int) in "/opt/openfoam211/platforms/linuxGccDPOpt/lib/libOpenFOAM.so"

Floating point exception
The geometry pass the checkMesh test. Could someone please help me to understand the reason for the error. Thanks in advance.

Regards
Reddy

Hi Mallikarjuna,

Your mesh seems to be OK.
Could you share the files in 0 and system directories?

Best regards,
Fumiya

Hi Fumiya,
Very much thanks for your kindness. My solver is highly non-linear. In my solver i encounter shear rate(magnitude of strain tensor). So my solver needs good initial guess for velocity. So i am attaching my solver and case file with initial guess for velocity.

Solver:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tm8i4y2u0a...M25Foam.tar.gz

Case File:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bz7u10bc16urpdc/case.tar.gz

I am very thankful to you if you guide me in correct path. Thanks in advance.

Regards
Mallikarjuna.
