Rising air bubble in turbulent water environment (multiphase)

I'm consistently running into the "No convergence, even when using the minimum damping factor" error. I want to model a multiphase system with an air bubble rising in turbulent water. The system is closed, so there are now flows, just the water moving due to being heated. I'm using a time-dependent study w/ phase initialization (a stationary soln cannot be found). No matter how much I refine my mesh, I cannot get it to converge. I've implemented nonlinear computations and the works, and still no convergence. Can someone please give me some guidance?
