Thanks for sharing the observations Chinedu. So far I am keeping the source term off for a while i.e. not needed currently. I am sharing the result and description in the attachment. On Tuesday, May 28, 2019 at 8:15:14 AM UTC+2, Chinedu Nwaigwe wrote: > > Wolfang is right. Negligible values

Hi Prof. Wolfgang! Thank you for the response. Indeed the solution is quite reasonable and validated with analytical solution if diffusivity is kept bigger. Actually in my case I am using the metals and metallic alloys where the thermal diffusivity are of the range of 1e-5 to 1e-4 m^2/s (I

Wolfang is right. Negligible values of diffusion or thermal coefficients lead to a compete change in the physics of the problem. In that case if there are source terms the solution might become negative and if there is no source it will become steady. Things might get worse if advection term is

Dear users, I am working with deal.ii step-26 to implement temperature dependent thermal diffusivity. Currently for thermal diffusivity values > order of 1e-2 the results are quit satisfactory but if I use the low thermal diffusivity values like the order of 1e-6 to 1e-3, I get
