Be careful here - if your fluid has density a function of temperature but not of pressure it will not behave as you expect. You should make the density a function of pressure as well.

That one is obvious - surely you know what is happening there.

It appears your NASA polynomials fluid is constant density. So in a sealed chamber the pressure will never change.

The IAWPS fluid...

That depends on your system, how it is reinforced, how it operates and so on.

But assuming it is pretty much just a sealed chamber - then model the chamber in FEA with the pressures you expect....

So the thermal situation is not simple - it has some undefined heat input and a coolant water system, so the temperature will be a function of all that.

And yes you should work out how much the...

If you are modelling a sealed cavity with liquid water then as you heat it you will get a very rapid rise in pressure, this is the expected physics. In real life the container is going to deform and...

Your problem is probably not in the material properties, but in the way you set the simulation up or the numerical stability it has.

For your setup, you need to think very carefully about what the...
