If the simulation is unstable then a very small time step will be required. If the simulation is not correctly set up then it will diverge no matter what time step you use.

You are doing a very...

You are using a complex and custom material model. They often cause strange errors and are often very hard to converge.

I see you have set a very small timescale factor, which suggests you have...

It is unusual for multiprocessor to cause this type of error, but not impossible. It still suggests numerical instability, so the FAQ is applicable for that.

You have a bounds error on the Absolute Pressure. The highest pressure CFX can handle is very high, 1E10Pa I suspect, but the absolute pressure cannot be zero or negative in compressible simulations....

Your expert parameter turns the solving of the volume fraction equation off. You are not going to get far when you are not solving the equations.

I have no idea why pressure is not in the output...

Mesh quality requirements are different for different physics models. The rules of thumb for single phase flow are often not appropriate for multi phase flow. I would spend some time to get the mesh...

Your simulation is not converging well. Need to improve the numerical stability - smaller timesteps, better mesh quality and check the physics.
