Euler-Euler Model: reached singularity

I am running a Euler-Euler model and get a singularity error about six seconds into a 12 second analysis. It appears that there is a high velocity flair at an inlet when the singularity occurs. I have tried refining the mesh but the error returns. Any suggestions on how to relax convergence or to avoid this convergence issue? I am willing to accept some reduced accuracy in order to achieve convergence.

Could really use some help on this. Any suggestions for avoiding singularities?

Add inconsistent stabilization.

Thanks Nagi; I will give it a try. It seems that I am getting my singularity because my dispersed phase fraction becomes greater than one. Do you think enabling isotropic diffusion for the dispersed phase transport will help?
