Convergence Problem in Turbulent Air Flow with Natural Convection

Dear All
I have a problem regarding the solution of a simple case of turbulent air flow around a heated obstacle. The case combines heat transfer and turbulent flow (k-eplson). When I put the volume force (free convection) equal to zero, the case solves very smoothly. However when I put the volume force = -rho * 9.81 it does not solve. I tried making mesh coarse or fine, doesn't work.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Ahmed
