Unusual Temperatures : Shear Cavity Flow- LAMMPS SPH

Dear All,

I am trying to carry out simulations of water compression in cylindrical tubes using SPH Module of LAMMPS.
To understand the writing the input file for my problem I am referring to “Shear Cavity Flow” Example given in LAMMPS-SPH Documentation.
When I run the simulation for the “Example Shear Cavity Flow” The temperatures are coming to be very high (~10^8 K).
I could not understand ,Why the temperatures are so huge?(Log file Attached)
Any suggestion or comments would be helpful.

The same problem occurs in my actual simulation of Water Compression under normal conditions as well where the temperatures are reaching in the order of ~10^16- 10^22 K instead of . because of it the atoms flyoff and get lost.

use Tait’s EOS in combination with Morris’ laminar viscosity.

We set rho_0 = 1000 kg/m^3, c = 0.1 m/s, h = 6.5e-5 m.

The dynamic viscosity is set to 1.0e-3 Pa s, corresponding to a kinematic viscosity of 1.0e-6 m^2/s
