Why am I getting divergence on the first iteration for an axisymmetric problem?
I am running a 2d axisymmetric simulation but it diverges on the first iteration with the following message:
Divergence detected in AMG solver: x-momentum -> Increasing relaxation sweeps!
Error: Divergence detected in AMG solver: x-momentum
Error Object: #f

One reason could be that the geometry is not correct. Do a Mesh->Check to make sure you don't get
Checking for nodes that lie below the x-axis.
WARNING: Invalid axisymmetric mesh: 6 nodes lie below the x-axis.
and
WARNING: Mesh check failed.
For axisymmetric, the axial direction should be x and radial is positive y. Even if the y starts with -1e-32, it will fail.
To fix this:
Use Mesh->Translate and move the geometry so ymin is +ve.

Hello. i am doing a multiphase simulation in a packed bed using the mixture model. the volume fraction used was 0.5316.i keep getting the error message "divergence detected in AMG solver: x-momentum" for all the different solvers used and i even changed the under relaxation factors. i really have no idea how to proceed with this simulation!plzz help!thank u.

Please try running the simulation in transient mode and set the time stepping method to adaptive.
