Hello,

I am trying to simulate the water-air bubble (turbulence) flow. My model works fine for certain velocity (lower velocity) however, when I try running the simulation with higher velocity I get the convergence issue. Can anyone suggest me what could me the issue?

You have not provided enough detail of your model. However, one way to tackle this problem is to use the solution of the lower velocities as the initial condition for the higher velocities.

Hello Amin, I was using bubbly flow but I think this model only works when the volume fraction of the dispersed phase is low. Use of mixture model solved the issue.
