Dear guys,

I am running a STEADY STATE problem of conjugate heat transfer with heat source in solid region.

It is a problem of 11 lack cells.after 3000 iterations, mass residual is fluctuating about 4.3e-3(very less fluctuation) all velocity residuals of the order of 3.0e-6. Enthalpy residual for solid fluctuating about 2.6e2. all settings by default(SIMPLE ALGO)all underrelaxation parameters by default. How to further reduce the residuals. any suggestions urgently needed...

thanksin advance

try to use an under-relaxation factor of 0.999 for solids. U set this parameter in the thermal option panel. if it doesn't work U have to perform a transient analisys.
