DT<DT_MIN after more than 10s of fluidization

Hello everyone!

I’ve been testing a simple 2D TFM case, which is a modification of the tutorial 2D TFM case where I changed the particle diameter and density. During my tests, I noticed that after the flow time reaches more than ten seconds, there still appears to be a problem where DT < DT_MIN.

After more than ten seconds of fluidization, we usually assume that the fluidization has stabilized. I don’t understand why this issue persists at this stage. Could someone help me understand this? What adjustments should I make to resolve this issue?

Thank you very much!

Here is the case file I used. As you can see from the screenshots, the simulation has run for a considerable amount of time, but it eventually diverged.

I am not able to reproduce, it ran to completion for me. Please try to do a restart from the last restart point to see if you can get by the time it failed. You can also try to reduce dt_min. Set full_log=.true. to see which residual is having a hard time converging.

Note that you can also plot residuals in the GUI, with or without “full_log”

Hi, Jeff

Thank you for your testing and reply. I will try the method you suggested.

Hi, Charles

Thanks for your reminding. I will try it.
