Constant heat flux boundary condition on wall

Hello, developers,
I want to simulate the high heat flux at the wall. When the constant heat flux is set to 40,000k/m it can be solved normally, but when I set it to 4000000k/m as shown in the figure two errors are prompted, “Unphysical field variables detected on one or more processes.” and “The MPI_Comm_f2c() function was called after MPI_FINALIZE was invoked. This is disallowed by the MPI standard. Your MPI job will now abort.” Is there anything wrong with this setting?

Thank you very much!

Are you sure you want to impose 4 million degrees per meter temperature gradient?
You can scroll up the console to see more details about the failure, or click on the 2 errors 7 warnings 6 messages to see individual messages.

My guess is “Unphysical field variables detected on one or more processes.” means you have reached the max temperature due to unphysical BC.

Thanks a lot for these suggestions! In fact, I want to simulate a boundary heat flow density of 1MW/m^2, but I only see the temperature gradient option. Do I need to convert the heat flow density based on fluid thermal conductivity? By the way, can this large heat flow density be achieved?
Much appreciated!
