Hello,
I am currently trying to model flow through the extracellular matrix, but in the beginning stages of my simulation, I have run into errors in modeling flow through a gel.
If I run a stationary simulation of a rectangular prism where one side is an inlet and the other is an outlet with a porosity of 0.99, I receive the error "Failed to find a solution, maximum number of Newton iterations reached, returned solution is not converged, not all parameter steps returned.” As far as I know, the lack of error estimate convergence indicates that time dependent geometry and parameters have been run in a stationary study, and the model interprets the geometry/parameters as yielding a time-dependent flow. Is this correct? Currently I am trying to model an ideal fluid, so the fluid should not be time-dependent. Is there any way to change this?
If I run a time-dependent simulation of the porous medium cube, the velocity graphic reports that there is only movement of the liquid on the inlet and outlet sides. I have attached a screenshot of a version of this, with a cylindrical cutout yielding the same errors. Would anyone be able to help me resolve this problem?
Thank you.
