how to rectify this error

Are you using multizone.
Please check tutorials on multizone. It would be better to split the geometry.

how to split the geometry?

[Rob]

I tend to favour the Split command: have a look at the geometry tutorials.

where to where we have to split the body to get hex meshing

[Rob]

If you want a hex mesh you'll either need logical cubes (not something I'd try) or sweep. Personally, I'd be looking at Fluent Meshing and just poly the whole thing. How are you getting on with the tutorials?

How to improve the mesh? while solving i am getting floating point exception

I'm assuming you checked the cell skew? What is causing the blocks to distort like that?

[sadhurajesh]

skewness - min 1.3057e-010, avg 6.0265e-002, max 0.97917
aspect ratio- min1.0002, max 82.067
orthogonal quality- min 2.0831e-002, max 1, avg 0.94992
element quality- min 3.6629e-003, max 1, avg 0.72873
these are the mesh quaities. how to improve skewness

[Rob]

By understanding why the skew cells are created: why are they getting squashed in the image?

[sadhurajesh]

after meshing they squashed

[Rob]

Look carefully, and use cut planes (show full cells) to see what's going on. Please post those images so I can see what's going on.

Click on the blue tetrahedron in the cut plane panel, that shows the full cells. However, I think your problem is that you've meshed the thickness of the baffles: the jump in cell size is then huge which isn't going to result in a stable run. You also want at least 6 cells between the plates to get anywhere near sufficient resolution to pick up the velocity profile.
