Hi there
Isohumic coefficient form SIMEOS AMG are not really correlated to our on field observation in no till farming fields in france.
The model is based on incubating plant cover residues at 25 tonnes of dry matter with 180 kg of nitrogen per hectare. However, the fertilization of plant cover is prohibited in France
So im looking for other references, all the datas i find are only from France.

Please tell me the possible solution to solve this error, its been a week but I am stuck in solving this issue, I am really in need of someone who can give guidance. Please Help.
As I start the simulation of bubble column (air-water system), just after 15 iterations, it displays "floating point exception" and shows "divergence detected in AMG solver". What is the reason behind it?
Dear all,
I am simulating the combustion of diesel-biodiesel-gasoline mixtures, in which I developed the kinetic mechanism via Chemkin. My case is a 2-D constant volume bomb chamber, and the fuel is injected through the nozzle, while I ignite the mixture using the spark option. However, right when the timestep reaches the time where the spark is ignited, I get this error:
divergence detected in AMG solver: temperature
By this I mean there is no problem with the simulation if there was no spark activated. But when it is used, the running stops with a floating point.
I have searched a lot to find a solution, and I have tried, mesh refinement, BC, URF, smaller timesteps, energy equation, control limits and all you might possibly find on the internet. Could you please kindly guide me on what sort of action should I take to resolve this issue?
Appreciate it,

Hello,
I have been trying to model evaporation at temperatures far well below 100C in Fluent. This is primarily driven by the vapor content of air at the water-air interface.
A saturation temperature UDF is attached below.
The setup this is used with has 2 phases, one a species mixture of air and water vapor and the other is water.
After some help from the forum, I have got it up and running and it seems to be performing fairly well in transient simulations. However, when I try to use this code to calculate the saturation temperature for any steady-state simulation, I get a floating-point error. This is sometimes instant and sometimes after a few iterations. An example error message is:
Error at Node 0: floating point exception
Error at Node 1: floating point exception
Error at Node 2: floating point exception
Error at Node 3: floating point exception

I can't understand why I am running into this issue. Is there anything I could try to remedy the problem? I have tested on many geometries, with a variety of problems. Is this UDF unsuitable for steady simulations? and if that's the case then what alternatives do I have? I really need this functionality.
I thought it may be because the system varies a lot so I set up a closed system with a little water in with the walls set to a temperature of 300k and initialized it at 300k. My logic was that the only thing left to solve was the vapor fraction. I got a simulation to run 10000 iterations. However, the vapor fraction was 1.0 everywhere in the gas phase leading to relative humidities many times larger than 100%. This makes me worry there is something wrong with the UDF itself. I know that this kind of study must be possible somehow as I have read papers of people doing similar things, yet these don't go into enough detail for me to successfully imitate.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers

Recently, I was simulating the tutorial file "SIEngine_PortInjected_AMG_Tutorial.ftsim". After the simulation completed I got some results. I have some basic questions that make me doubt the solver, maybe I am wrong.
The questions are as follows:
- 100% combustion efficiency. ( On which basis combustion efficiency is calculated? ) I calculated fuel mass multiplied by LHV which is greater than the chemical heat release rate. How is that possible? This seems like an ideal case.
- UHC is almost zero. How is this possible?
- Fuel Mass per Engine Cycle is showing 2.07651E-002 [g], whereas in the excel sheet iC8H18 concentration is 2.18E-002 gram before combustion. Why there is a deviation?
- Fuel Lower Heating Value per g 44.00000 [kJ]. This LHV value remains the same if I change the combustion from gasoline to CNG also. I guess it may affect results also.
Please answer these questions.

I split the model of the S-Duct into 4 separate parts and meshed them separately. (This is of utmost importance when I will add control methods to the geometry). I created a new Project and opened the .uns files one-by-one and clicked on Merge everytime. The only named selections were Wall, Inlet and Outlet. When I ran the simuation on Fluent, the solution never converged even after 1000 iterations, the residuals oscillated rather than converging.
Next, I tried to name the two interfaces and merge them, but now I'm left with an extra named selection "Interface" and could not specify an appropriate boundary condition to treat it as part of the interior.
I tried to name the interface as 'Interior' during meshing, but the Solver showed "Divergence detected in AMG Solver".
Kindly tell me how to merge the separate mesh files.
I've these errors and I tried so long to fix it but I couldn't .. I don't know what's the problem can anyone help me plzzz :-

Hi,This is Prashant
I am trying to solve the multiphase flow simulation for countercurrent flow of Solid(ferrite Fe2O3) and reducing gas (CO)for reduction process in rotary kiln. To solve this I am using Euler-Euler TFM simulation scheme in which primary phase is the gas phase while secondary phase is solid phase and both phase patch. To account the reaction species I am using species transport reaction (Fe2O3 +2CO = 2Fe + 2CO2)(Fe and CO2 both consider as secondary species of phase3 and phase 4 respective phase mass fraction enter in the boundary condition) for radiation P1 model employed.In order to provide rotation moving wall motion given to adjacent cell with rotation speed of 5rpm.In calculation activities initially lower time step 0.01 time step 6000 for 100 iteration(I want to run this for 60 min as per experimentation).
The problem is solution not getting converged and showing following massage
1.Divergence detected in AMG solver

Simulation is being done in ansys fluent 18.2
General solver type set at pressure based, velocity formulation absolute and time steady.
For the initial run viscosity model taken as laminar and energy model ON.
Boundary condition imposed

My mesh maximum skewness is around 0.5. For solver settings pressure-velocity coupling was introduced with Green-Gauss Cell Based gradient, PRESTO! pressure and Second Order Upwind momentum. I tightened all URF (Under-Relaxation Factors) to 0.1~0.2 and used 0.001 time step size.
After running the solution for some time everything looks fine in the animation but the solver fails showing "Error: Divergence detected in AMG solver: epsilon". Anyone has any idea on how it can be solved or the error can be removed?

I am working on a flame affected by external magnetic field using MHD module with fluent 14.5 . I am using compiled UDF to produce non-uniform profile for boundary condition. My settings are:
Model settings: 2D, k-w SST ,Non-premixed combustion (with 8 species), Magnetic Induction model with under relaxation of 0.6
Boundary conditions: axis,velocity inlet (for fuel), the non uniform magnetic field applied in x-direction for pressure inlet boundary
Solver: Pressure Coupled
But I got the following error:
# Divergence detected in AMG solver: pressure coupled -> Decreasing coarsening group size!
# Divergence detected in AMG solver: pressure coupled -> Increasing relaxation sweeps!
# Divergence detected in AMG solver: pressure coupled -> Changing to W-cycle!
After the detected error, I used Pseudo Trandient method, but nothing was changed.
I decreased “coarsen by” and increased the pre-sweep for scalar and coupled parameters in advanced solution controls, but the error persist. I also reduced the URF of the pressure,energy,density, fmean, and B_y to 0.1 step by step and I couldn’t fix the problem.
When I used BCGSTAB stabilization method for flow I encountered AMG Divergence for k Equation. As I changed the Stabilization method for k, AMG divergence detected in the next equation. Finally I changed all of the equation to BCGSTAB stabilization method, But immediately all the residual changed to 1.#QNBe+00 and the solution is converged!
I should mention that the combustion with MHD equation was solved without Lorenz Force and Joule Heating, but as I turned on Lorenz force the solution process stopped working (with b_0 Scale factor of 0.1).
When I applied magnetic field for cold flow (combustion model is off), the problem converged without any error. And when I turned off magnetic problem the combustion is converged. In other word, but I cannot combine both of them.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I am doing a CFD simulation for Plate Heat Exchangers.
I used ANSYS Fluent to perform the simulation. However during the calculation section. I received this error "Divergence detected in AMG Solver:TEMPERATURE". The error appears even when the iteration has just started
May I know what are the possible cause of this error? I activated the energy equation and also reduced the UDF (Pressure, Momentum and Turbulent Kinetic). Also, I reduced the limit of the static temperature but it seems that these 2 modifications does not help me get rid of this error.

Hello,
I'm running 2 phase flow implicit Eularian-Eularian flow model.
created model.
defined material to each phase.
defined boundary conditions-for inlet, it's mass flow rate with initial gauge pressure defined
defined outlet pressure boundary condition- as outlet pressure values.
Then velocity slip ratio defined based on variable mass flow rate of phase 1 but constant mass flow rate of phase 2.
All above boundary conditions are defined as profile UDFs as function of flow time.
then phase coupled simple solver is used.
rest is just a calculations activities, with surface monitors.
the case successfully setup and started calculations till 300 time steps with 1 second as time step size.
after that UDF, as function of time, provides new values to the solver. and that's where everything goes wrong and suddenly I receive divergence in AMG solver. Which I shouldn't be getting since the case ran successfully for first 300 time steps
so I need help to know what exactly went wrong.
thank you,

But I don't know what model to use and what dimensions to apply on my 3D geometry.
When I tried, I used the standard k-epsilon model ( steady flow) with 5 bars inlet pressure with an extremely fine mesh ( around 5 millions elements ) but each time I got a problem like
divergence detected in amg solver Temperature.
I need this to be done fast and I am working hard on it.
I hope I can find someone to help me and show me how to do it properly. Best regards

Hi,
I just started to work with Fluent. I am trying to model a 2D axisymmetric problem.
The simulation is transient conduction (material has constant conductivity and heat capacity), and a heat generation that is a function of temperature.
Boundary conditions:
Bottom edge is adiabatic, sides have free convection, and top edge has constant heat flux.
For the heat generation, I interpret the following UDF:
#include "udf.h"
DEFINE_SOURCE(ecomb,c,t,dS,eqn)
{
real source;
real temp = C_T(c,t);
int A = 29.8e18;
int B = -12779.78;
source = A*exp(B/temp);
dS[eqn] = -A*B*exp(B/temp)/(temp*temp);
return source;
}
I have tried the following without success: refine the mesh, lower the timestep or the relaxation, hybrid initialization (with very low courant), and initialize with temperature higher than ambient.
Any ideas what could be the cause?
Hello,
The case is with regards to a 2-D Axis-symmetric pipe - turbulent flow - water - density varying with temperature - polynomial ( 6th order )
I have reduced the under relaxation factors for all of them to very low but am still getting the same error.
Thanks a lot.. !!!
Am solving species transport, melting and evaporation problem and I keep getting this error which reads "Error: Divergence detected in AMG solver: species-0". How do I deal with this?
I am investigating the wave propagation in a tube with a Helmholtz resonator attached to one end by using CFD. I am using a temperature profile and an UDF unsteady solver. each time I run it, fluent is giving this error 'divergence detected in AMG solver: x-momentum', floating point exception. whatever I tried, it did not go away.
Is there any solution to this problem?
