Problem in a simple case

donfrulli · December 8, 2016, 10:33

Dear all,

I would like to make a simple simulation on air flow in a pipe with a restrictor. The simulation is not converging correctly and I got these errors:

Temperature corrections limited on 615 cells in Region
Minimum Temperature limited to 100 on 924 cells in Region
Turbulent viscosity limited on 13771 cells in Region

My continua settings are: gas, steady, segregated fluid temperature, ideal gas, k-epsilon turbulance. I'm not even sure what are the correct settings.
My experiment looks like this: I put 2 cylinders on each other and I put 4 CDs in between them. I generate a depression from below.

Any ideas what can be the problem?

Looks like a mesh-issue. Create a theshold for temperature for example and lokate the Region, where your solution have the unrealistic temperature. After that, you can fix your mesh.

For now this indeed looks like a mesh issue because no matter what I did, STAR used trim mesh all the time (even when I set it to poly)
Thanks!
