ISAT toleranceStart with the default 10e-3 and increase the table size from the default 100 MB To fully converge the solution decrease the ISAT tolerance and make sure that the solution is independent from any table interpolation error
EDC modelThe model is robust and stable, however in some cases tends to converge slowly, to speed up the convergence change the following option from the TUI /define/models/species> set-turb-chem-interaction Acceleration Factor [between 0 (most robust but slowest convergence) and 1] [0] The default for the edc-apmax-fac is 0, change this value with small increment (0.1), in general value above 0.5 will make the solution unstable

Solution strategies for Deflagrations&detonations PremixedFuel and oxidizer mixed molecularly, then burn Moving reaction front – usually thin and difficult to model DeflagrationsSubsonic: very difficult to model since the flame speed depends on the chemi
stry as well as the molecular diffusion parameters, and the flame zone must be resolved.
DetonationsSupersonic: ignition due to heat release behind shock. Simpler to model than deflagrations since the shock is not resolved, and detailed molecular transport is not essential.

ConvergenceResiduals should be less than 10-3 except for T and P-1 and species, which should be less than 10-6 The mass and energy flux reports must balanceThe fluxes can be checked from the report fluxes menu The flux report will include only heat and mass flux at the boundary (not any additional source term in the fluid or solid domain)
Monitor variables of interest (e.g. mean temperature at the outlet): solution is stable and not changing if running the case further Ensure contour plots of field variables are smooth, realistic and steady

Mass and Energy Flux Imbalance in DPM ProblemsIn DPM problems, the Report → Fluxes panel will usually give a nonzero mass and energy balance.Occurs in cases involving combustion or heat transfer from the particles/droplets to the gas phase.
In these cases the user should visit the Volume Integrals panel.Request a sum of values for DPM Mass source and DPM Enthalpy source.
At convergence, the Sum of DPM Mass Source and DPM Enthalpy Source should be equal to the Mass and Total Heat Transfer Rate imbalances in the Report Fluxes panel. For large combustion problems, this energy balance can take longer to achieve and is a better indication of convergence than low residuals.
