Nonlinear solver did not converge

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello.

I am trying to create a system where I cool lithium-ion batteries using phase change material. The program was computing for 9 hours and I was getting good results, but in the end I got the following error:

Nonlinear solver did not converge. In Velocity u, Pressure p: Divergence of the linear iterations. There was an error message from the linear solver. Very ill-conditioned preconditioner. Time: 640.74034002309429 s. Last time step is not converged.

Does anyone know how I could solve this issue?

Also, I noticed that the error happened close as the temperature of the phase change material approached the melting point. Might this have an effect on the error?

Thanks in advance for the help.
